The halfling village of Ogo is ruled by Urga-Zoltapl, an accomplished cleric and psionicist. Halflings prefer to pass on their wisdom in a single student-mentor relationship, but halfling psionicists tend to gather at Ogo. At any moment, a number are there, exchanging ideas and information. Most share their race's values; strangers are enemies. non halflings risk their lives in the Forest Ridge. Rarely, though, a visitor may win the halflings' friendship by performing a great service to the forest. Some of these forest-friends are psionicists who remain to study with the masters of Ogo.
The most powerful psionicist in Ogo is Xaxachtel. A member of the Order, he monitors lesser halfling psionicists. The halfling leaders have a fairly good idea of what the Order is and what it is up to, so Xaxachtel makes no secret of his power or agenda. The most accessible halfling psionic master is a young woman named Teranya, a student of sorcery and the Way. Unlike many of her people, she has adventured widely in the Tablelands and knows much of the other races. She enjoys exchanging news with travelers and has occasionally interceded with Urga-Zoltapl to spare adventurers or traders

Teranya is a cheerful and curious halfling who is a cousin of Urga-Zoltapl, the powerful chieftain of Ogo. She was raised to be a rain-guardian, a halfling trained in both the Way and the arts of illusionary magic. Her insatiable curiosity drove her to leave Ogo to explore the fascinating world around her. After many years of adventuring throughout the Tyr region, she decided to return to her homeland and report her findings to her people.
Teranya enjoys teaching children and is one of the village's principal instructors in the Way. She also accepts more advanced students from time to time. She strongly believes that the time has come for halflings to interact with the world outside the Forest Ridge, but her fellow tribespeople are not so quick to accept change.
