Culture: How they doppelganger society thrives is beyond most people's comprehension. A society entirely based on competition, oneupsmanship, and treachery should not last weeks, much less eons. Still, it survives, largely by dint of powerful leaders subjugating their inferiors into some semblance of loyal behavior. The Church of Thorn holds great political sway in the incessant noble in fighting, and any commoner can rise up through backstabbing plots and intrigue. A cutthroat nation of liars, thieves, and spies.
