Fraternity of Gisredde (concept)
The Fraternity of Gisredde, similar to the more well-known Fraternity of Chevalie, is a Gisreddean culture cornerstone that largely dictates the culture of Peti Gisredde and Grande Gisredde. Established as a concept along with the Fraternity of Chevalie after the latter's first coinage by the 9th century poet Abaël Venodau, the Fraternity of Gisredde grew to be far more popular in Gisredde than its brother-concept.
The Fraternity of Gisredde largely mirrors the Fraternity of Chevalie, but places Peti Gisredde (and partially its rival and sister city Grande Gisredde) as the most important source of fraternity and comradery for Gisreddeans. While not contradictory to the Fraternity of Chevalie, the local version claims that the foremost duty of the citizens of the Gisredde's are to serve one another's interests before that of foreigners. Despite the cut-throat nature of a city that considers Assassins Guilds legitimate candidates for political office, it has firmly established itself, and most know Gisreddeans for incredible infighting (especially between Peti and Grande Gisredde) until the moment a foreigner involves themselves.
Despite what most may expect, both Peti and Grande Gisreddeans consider one another within these considerations, as many a surprised foreigner has discovered after attempting to join a usual game of 'Kick the Peti/Grande (depending on locale) Gisreddean".
While Peti Gisredde has grown as a power (and Grande Gisredde has continued existing), the rise of the Gisreddean Banking System brought the concept to the attention of many foreigners. Namely, those being swindled for every coin they possess by alliances of Gisreddean criminals and merchants, the line between the two blurring in Gisredde more than anywhere else.
