They banded together to raid communities so that they could get enough to eat, they protected the community by fighting when they were attacked, and they seemed to share what little they had with each other.

The climax in "The Chrysalids" occurs when the Waknuk community discovers that David and his friends are telepaths. This revelation leads to a confrontation between the telepaths and the community, ultimately resulting in David and his group fleeing to the Fringes for safety.
In "The Chrysalids," the High Bank is a sheltered area on the Fringes where the mutants live. It is a place where the people who are considered deviations from the norm seek refuge from the strict society of Waknuk. The High Bank symbolizes a sense of community and shared experiences among those who are marginalized due to their differences.
In "The Chrysalids" by John Wyndham, the Fringes refer to the outer regions of the society where mutants and deviations from the norm are forced to live. This area is characterized by lawlessness and a lack of the rigid societal controls found in the more central, "pure" communities. Inhabitants of the Fringes often face discrimination and violence from those in the more regulated areas, illustrating the theme of intolerance toward difference in the novel. The Fringes serve as a contrast to the oppressive conformity of the main society.
The fringes are the strangers... what their community is fighting against. The symbol of the divergent or mutant. The poor and the handicapped and the scary people that everyone runs from. They play the role of the other in the beginning, and then as the telepathics start to think of themselves as the other, they start being the savages... the people who are different in a bad way rather than a good way. The poor and hopeless.
The community of Waknuk is never destroyed. Many of the people from Waknuk are destroyed when they pursue the telepaths into the Fringes, but the community of Waknuk remains.
Spiderman is the brother of Joseph Strorm . Spidermans' real name is Gordon Strorm. Gordon was sent to the Fringes because he was a mutant according to the religion of Waknuk. He had long arms and limbs which made him look like a spider. He is also the leader of the Fringes.
Women are treated as second-class citizens in the anti-mutant society, as valuable commodities in the fringes, and apparently are able to have significant power in Zealand.
The people from the fringwes can't live in the Waknuk society because they are deviational. In other words, they are not like other people who are a norm in Waknuk.
