Quavo was a minstrel from Noland who traveled often between his country and the Land of Ix. Quavo played the harp, and in his travels sang of other lands he had visited, serving as a source of both entertainment and news. Like all newsmongers, in addition to singing of true events, he also embellished and created his own stories. After spending some time in the city of Nole, Quavo traveled to Ix where he performed for Queen Zixi, singing stories of the Magic Cloak. The Queen was pleased to hear his news and he was rewarded with a gold chain.
