Cultural Notes

While Ga̋n Dá́mp̪f̄er Vǖy might ostensibly be ruled by some other power, real control lies with the senior members of the local craft and labor guilds.

Some guilds might have little or nothing to do with their original trade, and now exist purely as shells for political influence.

Ga̋n Dá́mp̪f̄er Vǖy's chapel was built using a different architectural style from the rest of the town. The style used is characterized by towering round arches, massive stone and brickwork, small windows, thick walls, and a propensity for housing art and sculpture depicting mythological scenes. The building's general shape would be a clever and ascetic combination of geometric shapes, which would be blended together by joining elements. The style's decorative features were largely internal rather than external and incorporated semicircular arches for windows, doors, and arcades; barrel or groin vaults to support the roof of the nave; massive piers and walls, with few windows, to contain the outward thrust of the vaults; side aisles with galleries above them..
