|Economy=The economy of the Western Lowlands rests on the swamps and the coast. Peat cutting is a common occupation, and the swamps yield valuable medicinal herbs and berries. Farming is carried out on the drier, fertile ground, and the light forests supply timber. Shipbuilding and sea trade are centered on the ports of Têr, Gostiria, Ivaiê and Ezinco. Pilgrims to the House of Tahami often set out from the port of Ezinco. | |Economy=The economy of the Western Lowlands rests on the swamps and the coast.

The great majority are Tuzquão. About 60,000 Mifajene live on the Mifajene Reservation. Immigrants from other regions make up a small part of the population of the larger port cities. Because the swamps leave little usable land, settlement is concentrated on dry ground and along the coast, and nearly two-thirds of the people live in towns and cities. | ||
|Transportation=Transportation in the Western Lowlands relies on a patchwork network of roads and on boats. Because of the swampy ground and frequently impassable terrain, Balúrail has no railways, and travel between divisions is often difficult. Roads are often flooded or washed out. The deepwater ports of Têr, Ezinco and the coast of Gostiria connect the lowlands with the rest of Balúrail and beyond. | |Transportation=Transportation in the Western Lowlands relies on a patchwork network of roads and on boats.
