In many ways, the successful Guildsmen have attempted to imitate the social mores of the nobility. They have adopted similar modes of dress, and attempted to adorn their persons and homes with the most sumptuous and luxurious trappings available.

Yet, in other respects, the guilders are very different from their predecessors. Because of their general inability to compete with the aristocrats in outdoor activities, they compensate by financially supporting, and elevating the importance of, the fine arts. Where those nobles with religious ties tended to support sects with strong mystical connotations (not here, but in the next world will you have your reward), the Guildsmen have actively supported the development of religions based on a premise of social Darwinism. Most importantly, the Great Guilders have been able to usually rise above the petty divisiveness that often characterized relations between the noble families.
