The whole philanthropy bit is an entirely original creation, made up by me to have a selection of both admirable and deplorable traits in every country. Dyvers is humanocentric, arrogant and greedy, but that doesn't mean everyone ends up going hungry in that affluent city. Sure, the Gentry jealously guard their sources of wealth, but tossing a few bones to the lower classes keeps them from getting too resentful, and also makes them "proud" to be from Dyvers, in a sense. This comes from the city promoting its charitable image.
