A note on technology and fashion
Since the Sendai are forbidden to reshape nature with their powers, the technology is largely pre-medieval to medieval. I would say around the First Crusades era. Much of the land is largely feudal or, as in the case of the Pearl Islands, Merchant republics. Peasants use wooden or iron ploughs and have domesticated the horse, ox, sheep, goat, dog, cat, buffalos (in the case of the southern kingdoms). There are no beasts of burden in the Gor Desert though recently there have been rumours of a humped animal in the western edge. The Gors raise goats, however.
With regards to military technology, outside the Gor Desert it is largely uniform. The Menarians have a strategic advantage in most battles due to their longbows. Armour is usually lamellar though the Balenians love to plate themselves heavily. The Turmen kingdoms wear a light armour and rely on horse archers and massed infantry. The Gurgs rely largely on their light cavalry and helberdiers while the Balenians focus on heavy cavalry and mounted knights. The three big kingdoms of the north use catapults during sieges, but the southern kingdoms don't have access to working models yet. It is only a matter of months, though, before they too catch up. Some very skilled craftsmen in Menaria are working on ways to make the bow fire faster but they are quite far from any breakthrough. There are rumours of ways to make fire breathing powder but the secrets are probably hidden away in the White Island library.
The Gors wear very little armour and that too made of leather. They are usually armed with a short bow or a spear or a dagger and carry a round shield of wood and leather.
And as for fashion,
Balenia - The Balenian nobles set the standard for fashion, dressing up in extravagant clothes and hairdos. On the other hand, the Balenian peasants often dress in loud colours and are considered uncouth when it comes to matters of fashion. They are considered even otherwise, but that's another matter.
Menaria - The average Menarian peasant is usually dressed in wool and cotton, the men often bearded, while the nobility wears silk in subdued tones.
Gurgan - They are usually dressed in the finest Gurg wool, mostly with a button shirt and a vest. Some Gurg men wear colored bandannas on their heads. The Gurg noble men usually sport beards without mustaches
Turmens - They wear flowing, loose-fitting clothes made of cotton or silk and the nobility also wears elaborate turbans. The latest fashion among the women is the thin transparent and scandalous shimina. The noble men usually have carefully trimmed pointy beards that they keep oiled and shiny.
Gors - The Gors outfit is usually purely functional, and it is made of a tough fiber called alsade found in the humid southern parts of the desert. It has the property of conserving moisture secreted by the body and keeping the skin cool. The Gors also wear a black head scarf when going into battle.
