Turst Fields provides much of the produce for the Republic of Tal'Dorei and Whitestone, and in turn imports many goods from other nearby cities, making it a bustling stop for trade caravans.
Turst Fields is one of the few communities in Tal'Dorei that counts gnolls among its citizens. Many of the human and halfling citizens have adopted the gnolls' language and animistic spirituality.
According to Jarett Howarth, the illegal drug suude can be obtained from Turst Fields.

History
Early in Turst Fields' history, the townsfolk made an alliance with the Dustpaw tribe of gnolls, who helped defend the community from the Ravagers.
When the Briarwoods were ruling over Whitestone between 805 and 810 PD, the farmers of Turst Fields still traded with the city, but they were not allowed into it and there wasn't much communication.
In the adventure hook Herd Mentality, set in 836 PD, an arm of the Ravagers led by Grud the Great, a follower of the Strife Emperor, was trying to take control of the northern plains. Akaksa, a local Dustpaw gnoll warrior, was aware of this, and had contact with some nomadic groups that were potential allies to defend the Turst Fields, including the Dawnmist Herd.
In 843 PD, after the apogee solstice, Kaa'fourd was released from a magical prison, after which the entity moved through Turst, consuming half of the place as well as its people.
