As far as I'm concerned, Neal Stephenson has already documented the Mostali culture in the Baroque cycle.
--
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

     -- Alfred, Lord Tennyson
