	The inhabitants of Clare have absorbed much of the culture of both the Venucci and Enclaves, and different parts of the city exhibit features of each. Due to the tensions between the two cultures, most parts and inhabitants of the city show a notable preference for one culture over the other in dress and customs, providing stark contrasts. Citizens of Clare choose names following the conventions of the culture with which they identify.

	The city itself is a reasonably law-abiding place, but the surrounding environs are not particularly well policed. The same hills and mountains that make the city defensible also make good hiding places for bandits, making keeping them under control difficult. While violence is rare in the city, crimes such as theft and burglary are still common. As a major transit route, the city makes a lot of money from taxing trade, so smuggling is a major criminal enterprise.

	:As befits a city that was a former enclave, Clare has strong town walls. Strong bulwarks are a traditional fixture of any Enclave to provide protection against the predators and storms of the southern wastes, but in Clare they were more designed to ensure the security of the city against potential Venucci raiders and invaders. Since the secession they've mostly served to control trade traffic through the city to ensure the valuable tariffs are collected. There are two main gates in the city; Northgate stands on the road to Cancello and Southgate guards on the road to Forgrad.		:As befits a city that was a former enclave, Clare has strong town walls.

	Houses and Cabals can have any internal structure they like, and may have internal titles. The only formal political title in Clare is Councillor, who is a person on the Clare ruling Council. Most politicking in the city is based around currying favour with Councillors and obtaining and retaining Council seats. There are few Council positions, and aspiring to become a Councillor personally is a great undertaking. Council seats are awarded to groups, and the Councillors for those seats decided upon internally by the group. Addition or reassignment of a Council seat is very rare and is only done to acknowledge a significant power shift in the city.
