And saving me from looking stupid by making unbalanced character options, and talking me down from including a 10-page section on the spice trade, and helping me turn the genie-blooded horses from random monsters into mount options, and letting me talk through all kinds of ideas, and being a constant source of support and sanity. <3
John's official contribution may be authorship of one section and some development work, but he's influenced most of the book in one way or another. :-)

High hopes for this book. Qadira is somewhere I've wanted to like but have been deterred due to lack of concrete information. Quite a way outside my traditional tastes, so once more Paizo are broadening my horizons.
Is there some introductory information about Qadira's Eastern/Northern/Southern(?) neighbours?

I wonder if this means we will be getting an AP set in Qadira and/or one of the neighboring nations soon after Strange Aeons.
Why wait until after Strange Aeons? I hear there's at least one adventure set near Qadira already!

And i hear it's written by a cool writer, too. ;-)
Is this inspired a little by "The nameless city"?

Sadly not.
AP#20 "Ironfang Invasion" will start in Nirmathas & Molthune.
It will then
go into the Darklands, a lost Dwarven Sky Citadel, the Elemental Plane of Earth and Orv.
AP#21 will be something with the 5 Runelords left alive and probably take Place in Varisia and surroundings.

It is a last name that makes for a lot of pun opportunities. :-)

And without doubt we price that highly^^
So...talking Qadira...will there be male and mixed gender harems? I have some players who would certainly enjoy that.
Also flying carpets, mysterious lamps and rings!
Inner Sea Intrigue had some interesting stuff, it would be nice to see that continued every now and then. This here would certainly be a nice occasion.
Only, please don´t lock in prestige classes so hard on stats and ways to get there like in Inner Sea Intrigue please.
There aren't any prestige classes.
As far as harems: you only get one spouse, under Keleshite law. Members of the imperial family (which has ruled for several millennia and is over a thousand people at this point, with multiple branches) can also have consorts (usually nobility, often chosen for political connections), and concubines (usually commoners chosen for attractiveness, charm, etc.). There are no restrictions on gender. These nobles, regardless of gender, may have harems of either single or mixed genders.
Keleshite culture being matrilineal, however, children are members of their mother's family, so children of female consorts/concubines have no special status unless their mother is a noble, whereas children of male consorts/concubines (with a female noble) have the same status as the children of the noble's husband.
TL;DR: yes, there are male harems for those members of the imperial family that want them. Other nobility's lovers don't have recognized status the way imperial consorts and concubines do, but there's nothing stopping them from having multiple cohabitating lovers, other than the cost of supporting them.

Is there a Qadira/Keleshite specific Pantheon? Any new deity-related flavor material in this book?
There are short descriptions of nine new deities/cults specific in Kelesh, as well as information on Kelesh-specific forms of Sarenism.
There are also new ethnicities, and commentary about some of their religious beliefs.
