Paraphrasing question:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My in-game and role-play character would so much disagree with this, and since I created them both, I also disagree, but not to the exaggerated extent of my above role-play statement.
I feel that Arashi is a more "In the moment" civilization. Keyword is "In the moment". The world is being run with raiding and being a merchant as the powers of the time. Naturally, the Arashi Desert's harsh conditions and low economic power (I'd think) makes it a "Are you kidding?" scenario for all merchants. So, this leaves the Arashi with a single way of life: Death. Raiding is their specialty, and that is all they will do because that is all they CAN do.
Anglea, however, is barbaric because ice vikings. Everyone hears ships and someone has to go "Pirates?" Arashi fill in the gap of "Raiders", so here we have pirates. Angleans look backward and move forward, trying to get machinery of the past to secure their future. However, as luck would have it, trying to trade with other nations is a bit of a hassle when you live on a mountain. Although barbaric, they seek to unlock the minds of those pre-war, to become more powerful and to be able to advance forward. With an Anglean, he will take as he pleases, as he feels he will be able to do better than you with whatever you have.

Hmm..
As someone who closely relates himself to the Yesha Empire (I haven't chosen a side or made a proper rp character yet), I can probably speak for the Empire when I say:
To the Yeshans, Angleans and Arashi are probably seen as the same. Angleans are barbarians to the north and Arashi are barbarians to the south. An interesting thought.
Regardless, I get what you mean. Anglea and Arashi are distinct factions. Still, they have much in common. They both scavenge the ruins of the old world. They both pirate and raid other factions. In fact, if Yesha wasn't in-between them, they'd be like the best buddies.

Except for the fact that the Arashi hate everyone and everything.
Tyre:
I recall a Muse mentioning a relationship between the Angleans and Arashi. It was something about how since the Angleans have the technological know-how and the Arashi have the raw materials, they're trade "buddies".
Also, I think it's safe to say that the Yeshans think everyone outside of their influence are barbarians. :P
Also also, I'd recommend looking over the old map. Even though Muse has said that it's no longer the "official" map, I think it gives a good idea on the direction they were going with the factions, who lives in them, and what they're capable of. It's actually because of it that I doubt the Arashi are simply a bunch of small city-based tribes, but a group of small nations who kept their old-world identity (Which would give off a tribal feeling).

The League mainly place their hate at the Guild, they have been at it since maybe the Age of Dust or beyond. Even if it's not a full scale war, attacks between them are constant.
