Apart from the obvious exceptions that magic provides, the level of technology in the Known World is much like that of the Bronze age on Earth. Bronze (which is cast, not forged) is the most commonly used metal in weapons and armor. Iron is sometimes used, but has no real advantage over bronze. Steel (in the form of the white Albyan steel) is only produced by the Albyan Forgepriests, who guard their secrets well.
Death has always been surrounded by ritual. Through these rites, we try to give meaning to the loss, and remember the fallen. The kingdoms of the Known World handle death and the accompanying funeral rites in various ways.
