Agriculture & Industry
Belsa is well known for its silks. The creatures responsible for the fine fibers are found throughout Woodpecker Woods, though not near the coasts. Several cities are responsible for the production of silk fabric in addition to the more common linen fabric.
In addition to silk, there are many farms and orchards throughout the Woodpecker Woods which supply produce and honey. On the Cricket plains, there are herds of Ornapir raised for their wool or for domestication in addition to sheep and goats. Finally, spices and fungi originate in the Tall Timberland.
Trade & Transport
Belsa has one main road leading from Istiana north to Filhony. However, there are many rivers in Belsa which is the main form of transportation. There is a saying, "head downhill and you'll find a river" which pretty much sums up the landscape there. Finally, with long coasts surrounding most of country, traveling along the coast is easy.
