The Land of Fate is south of our lands, and it is much hotter and drier there. Clothing is much lighter than here, and often features loose layers made of light materials, although head scarves, turbans and veils are also common. The philosophy holds true for warriors and travellers, who wear lighter armour and weaponry than our own, this is probably due to the debilitating effects of wearing heavier armour in the heat. Because of this, most warriors prefer lighter weapons and rely on mobility, rather than metal, for their protection.
