"Crees" - Creess is the home of the Telantha Clan leader and her tribe, the Ashtao. Several other tribes have also made the town their home but a woman from the Ashtao has been the leader here for several generations. The town is located on the Aira Cioda, a river, which flows south toward the Bloodlands and is in the center of the clan’s territory. Accessibility has also increased the trade status of the town, making it one of the most important trade centers in the eastern forests.

Practicing the art woodworking, the inhabitants of Crees spend their time growing, logging and replanting a variety of trees for the different items that can be made from the wood. The Dalmites of this town also create strong and sturdy boats. Canoes and small barges are among the watercraft available here. All are light enough to be carried to the water and back to their treetop homes. Hoisting them up into the trees also provides extra cover from any attacks.

While most of their trade is with other Dalmite towns, they do trade with the Bloodland town of Ackair. Wood is sent downstream to the farming community in exchange for grain and other items.

Crees is the largest town in the Gailmai Woods. While its residences are nestled securely among the tree branches and twisting vines, the market and shops surround the heavy tree trunks. While a few Bloodland and Salan traders enter the town, most traders are Dalmite and arrive with ponies laden with goods.

"Randden" - The Aira Tinya splits into many different small branches or airiles as it flows down from the mountains to the north. The many-branched streams are known as the Airiles Dovia, or the Streams of Prosperity. These winding and swiftly flowing waterways often deposit minerals along their banks, including rich clay used to create the finest pottery among the Dalmites. Numerous mineral springs located in the area feed small pools, which are visited by Dalmites far and wide for their health benefits and to restore the spirit.

The tribe of Randden found a home nestled among these waterways in a small area known as Dovia Wode. Although small, the tribe’s lovely pottery is often found in the homes of Dalmites, especially in Tilitha where it is highly valued. Dalmite visitors are common in Randden, especially those who require the curative properties of the mineral waters. A peaceful resting-place, called an inn or spa by outsiders, has been established by the Randden tribe and is popular among the Dalmites. While occasionally Salans and Bloodland residents do visit the Randden, the local population often snubs them. The exception to this is the Salan holy men whom the Dalmites respect for their compassion and piety.

"Elora" - The tribe of Elora has established a home just south of Zayn Fer, a large hill, which lies not far from the northern coast. Legends tell of the Elora tribe, who once roamed the plains to the east not inhabited by the Salans. Drought and pestilence destroyed their crops and drove them into the forest. They brought with them a unique breed of horse, now known as the Dhali or Dalmite pony.

The Eloran Dalmites train and breed the ponies. They have also mastered the art of archery from horseback. Mainly used as pack animals or for battle, the horses are more sure-footed in a forest then any other. They also survive quite well on the moss, brush, and other forest floor plants.

The settlement of the Elora tribe has been created around the care and breeding of these valuable animals. While the Dalmites still sleep in the trees, they have built special shelters for the ponies and fences for containing them when necessary. Most of the ponies forage free among the towering trees around the settlement.

"Rakia" - Located in the Cialoth Mos, an extension of low mountains that flow westward out of Sala, the tribe of Rakia is unique among Dalmite towns. Fiercely independent, the Raki are rugged and strong willed. They are very protective of their families and most live their entire lives in Rakia, venturing out only to trade and to aid in warfare when called by the clan leader. Raki are such fierce warriors, that the Telanthan clan leader has been heard to say she requires two warriors from other tribes to equal one of the Rakia tribe.

The people here have developed the training of wolves as both hunters and as messengers. Dens of wolves intermingle with the groves of trees that support the settlement. The wolves are guardians of the forest floor below the treetops of the Dalmite homes and are more like companions then pets. A watchful protective presence surrounds Rakia.

Rakia is also home to Dalmite miners, who split the rocks in the nearby mountains looking for minerals. Blacksmiths then turn the metals into finished goods, usually axes and other tools, which are traded throughout the forests.
