In contrast to the primitive and lawless nature of Avogwi society, Nuiwit society is highly structured and harmonious. The need to defend against the Avogwi predation has forced the Nuiwit to form tightly-knit communities that gain strength in numbers, and the development of agriculture soon followed.

The only thing saving the Avogwi from genocide is Nuiwit pacifism. The Nuiwit realize that by destroying the Avogwi, they would eliminate their only predators on Altor 14. However, the idea of organizing an army to go out and systematically destroy the Avogwi and their eyries is incomprehensible to them, due to their abhorrence of violence.

Nor is violence necessary. The Nuiwit have realized that with their constantly developing technology and expanding communities, they will eventually drive the Avogwi from the planet by occupying all the land on the planet's surface.

Nuiwit are even more rarely found away from Altor 14 than are the Avogwi, largely due to the Nuiwit's dislike of isolation from other Nuiwit.

Those Nuiwit who do leave the planet are, relatively, much more aggressive than those who remain, and, while they will seldom take up arms themselves, they seem to expend a great amount of effort in trying to convince members of other species to return with them to Altor 14 and rescue the Nuiwit from the Avogwi.
