This is something I've been wondering and while it's somewhat there in the handbook if you really look I'm still not clear about the details, or how you would apply them if say creating a new character..
What are the areas of Layonara where the human cultures (and this is assuming humans are supposed to be the main race) aren't based in Medieval/Fantasy Europe. It's pretty obvious that Saudaria has a Middle Eastern feel for example and Barbarian islands are like viking Iceland (it is right?)... I was wondering what other parts of the world are exotic and foreign cultures.
Like if I wanted to make a character from an Asian background is there an area that feels like ancient China... Or tribal Africa, India, China, Mayan, Native American, Mongol or Cossack, obviously there's hundreds more...
I'm not trying to be PC and demand every type of person be represented, this is more about asking what cultural flavors of the real world correspond to Layo and are already there but not so apparent... I think it would help in coming up with player backgrounds if this information is clear... It also may inspire more human characters if there is a wide variety of cultures to model themselves after. It would also help in RP I think to be aware when you are in an area with very foreign people and architecture.
