Halflings live primarily in Shultro. Those in Sindroo operate a tourism industry built around the hot springs found in the area. The plains around Bruss are generally dedicated to the cultivation of cold-weather crops. Bruss itself is the Terpon of Upper Osto--a regional trade hub. However, visitors from outside of Upper Osto are advised to steer clear because of the dangerous reputation of the city--pickpockets and violent crime are rampant. Pilgrims looking to travel to Lunarke are advised to land in Marbor and pass through Sindro, or to travel through the Arban Canal and land in Fort Brakov.
