Losloth endured difficult relations with its local neighbors, especially dwarves of the nearby bronze hills. Tension between the settlers and the natives became so troublesome a notice was hung over the east gate of the city. This bye-law forbade any dwarf unrestricted access into Losloth, stating "Neither O' nor Mac shall strutte nor swagger through the streets of Losloth without permission." As time passed by the tension between the settlers and the natives has all but faded, save for the occasional rude guard who may request papers of intent from visiting natives, and the humans of Losloth have established a decent trade relationship with the dwarves of the bronze hills. Every summer the dwarves bring tools to the Port City and in return every fall Losloth sends food from the years harvest as payment in return.
The town was originally part of an expedition to create a shorter trade port between the kingdom of Almast, on the northern area of the continent of Lor, and Santorn, an illustrious kingdom along the western shores of the continent of Nuin. While not as lucrative an operation as originally thought, Losloth occasionally has visitors stopping along the trade way bartering goods and riches in exchange for a short rest before heading on to their destination.
However, although Losloth may be a good rest point between the kingdoms, its close proximity to the wildlands urges most ships to pass it by completely and brave the long ocean path. The inhabitants of the town are plain and simple folk and the community works collectively with the majority spending all of their time developing the local agriculture.
