Culture

Common Dress code

Clothes are very bright reds, oranges, yellows, and whites. They very loose as well. They're often made from linen or silk if the person can afford it. While silk is not common, it's not terribly rare either and easy to aquire for any knight or lesser lord.

Art & Architecture

Much of the Zedaric architecture is based around a brutalistic and almost spartan like style. Their buildings are made from concrete and stone. But then deviates from it when it comes to decoration. After the structure of a building is finished, it's given many fine decorations in the form of hard straight lines, 90 degree angles, fine points, etc. If the owner is rich enough, the designes are gilded with gold and bronze.
The same art style applies to paintings, sculptures, and other forms of art. When it comes to poems and epics, many of their heroic stories revolve around an ensamble of several heroes each with their own strengths and weaknesses and through their combined effort are able to defeat any odds. Much of their history is recorded in the form of epics as well as documentations. Perhaps the most famous tale is, The Knights of Sir Edique.

Ideals

Gender Ideals

In most Zedaric societies, Men are granted much more power than women. But unlike many other places, woman can hold certain positions. In Lisani, Their first ruler was a queen and there were female soldiers that participated in Lisan's Rebellion. 
For the most part, women are expected to be loyal to their fathers and then to their husbands. Women are often forbidden from training in the art of war but in certain regions women are granted permission to take up spellcasting as magic is seen as the "trade of cowards and women." Men on the otherhand are encouraged to take up training in swordsmenship, jousting, archery, etc.
