Clothing here tends to be light but varies by culture. From the Arashani who feel covering the body is a sign of dishonesty (and thus go fully nude) to those few in the eastern kingdoms who are south enough to be in this climate and dress as light as they can while still covering everything from head to toe.In the middle ground you have people like the Lomyrians; public nudity is accepted in their culture in certain forms. Such as bathhouses, athletics, the parks, and a variety of social and life changing events.Otherwise they dress in loose outfits made from light materials.In war many of the people in this region are likely to fight unarmoed and barefoot.Simply because the most common form of engagement for them is to be on a navel vessel.Land warfare is underdeveloped. All that fancy armor and such exists but is used more by explorers and marines than the regular sailors.Land war is developed in the Eastern Kingdoms so the situation is a bit different there.You will find 'bikini clad' adventurers though; among the spell casters.Even some highly active Arashani women might adopt a support device that doesn't cover. Likewise the men.It's a very practical clothing choice for the climate. You can get by with a bikini or loincloth and cloak in most of the regions you might find yourself in.In many lands they go nude until puberty. Not in the Eastern Kingdoms though. Of course in Arashan you're nude from birth to death.Probably a lot less than in the modern world. In my own setting it's a lot lesser in most of the cultures than what we're used to. Even among the modest people of the Eastern Kingdoms you still get stuck with a public outhouse, sleeping in a common room, or having the maid walk in on you to pour your bath water.I know I wrote about this in Fahla...Here it is from my technology section: "Leather tanning is oil based using flax and sunflower seeds."That technology has replaced the urine method in most of the civilized world. Though humanoid leathers and leathers from deep into the interior of the jungle or the archepelago will likely use urine since oil trade is not so developed.I'll need to add that statement now that my site focuses on the globe rather than one nation...Quite true.</blockquote>
