This small merchant-republic recently became a proper trading juggernaut, especially after their re-invention of flying airships, which was probably enabled due to their large Gnome population. This allows them to travel and trade all across the world, and they indeed do so, especially to parts of Lagetia and El-Batok. Originally a member of the Grenwal Confederate Empire, the Lowla republic got its independence a couple hundred years ago, through revolutions and wealth earned through trade.
