These new inter-clan raids, ranging from minor skirmishes to standard warfare, stimulated the development of a [[w:Tribute|tributary system]] in Kzmr, in which more vulnerable septs or clans paid levies, usually in the form of dairy, livestock, or forageables, to their more militarily adept counterparts in exchange for a guarantee of protection by the [[w:Suzerainty|suzerain]]. In some cases, suzerains could themselves be tributaries of other septs or clans. This system allowed some suzerains to live a sedentary lifestyle off of these levies, prompting the construction of [[w:Manor house|manor houses]] which constitute the earliest permanent examples of [[Kzmr architecture]]. After the decline of the tributary system, the manor ~~house of~~ [[Srn]] and ~~its~~ surrounding villas ~~were repurposed as a phylaciopolis – a city consisting~~ of ~~storehouses, archives,~~ and ~~residences for their workers~~.

The arts also flourished greatly in this period, with [[Kzmr music notation]] being invented by [[~~Phmitrþs~~]] in 922 CE, originally to transcribe [[Nrþk'irdu]] liturgical music. Eventually, it was extended to the creation of new motets, and soon after to the composition of secular music. Music of the Pax Casambriana was extremely varied and characterized by heavy experimentation, and the era gave rise to some of the most prolific composers in Kzmr history. The visual arts also underwent a revolution of their own, with the burgeoning guild system allowing specialization in textile art and metalwork. Artifacts from this time period include jewelry made from finely woven copper wire as well as oryx leather and felted rabbit fur embroidered by hand, of which the vegetation-inspired ornamentation was the prototype of the [[Kzmr rococo]] movement.
