Archmaester Gyldayn considered the clansmen to be savages. Conflicts between the clans are often resolved by payment of blood money and clansmen are quick to settle personal grievances through violence. However, the clansmen are a quarrelsome and proud people, and grudges and slights are often resolved by violence. Clansmen are fiercely loyal to each other, while some clans share close bonds. The clansmen are an egalitarian society, believing that every person's voice, regardless of gender, should be heard during councils. The Mountains of the Moon are home to a population of people who have rejected the authority of the Eyrie and are independent from the rest of the Seven Kingdoms and its feudal society.
