Glade Harlu

Glade Harlu is one of the Iron Glades in which the Burdinadin live. It is very remote, located off the coast of Lagoria, and doesn't have semaphore connection to any other glade. They send messengers to other glades instead, and make use of passing vessels.
They're big into Dinnic and Human behavioral analysis. They've tried dwarves, but previous endeavors in specimen collection started a war, which was not worth the hassle. They are long bored of goblins but would probably be in the market for rarer beings such as vampires or grues.
They can also do things with Natural Philosophy that other Burdinadin can't, through the use of complex chemical treatments and devices.
==Experiments==
In Glade Harlu, there is a series of experiments being conducted to try and discern the nature of love and whether or not it is quantifiable with Natural Philosophy. Correspondence with several prominent Zophs in Karthack who strongly advocate the notion that Love is a tangible supernatural force that can be harnessed for magical ends has fueled this research.
The test subjects are taken from their mothers at birth (or shortly thereafter) and put in various controlled environments to see how they develop alone, with surrogate artificial mothers of varying designs, and how they eventually handle reintegration with other subjects, or reintroduction to their own (or different) mothers. The results have been fascinating, and have revolutionized Burdinadin parenting.
A specially designed controlled environment, donated by an unnamed Zoph, is called the "Luctus Arcology," and is a box that runs on a significant flow of sorcerous energy. It apparently creates an environment of total sensory deprivation for those inside. 
One subject was left inside for twenty years, and then taken out and interviewed. Her name is Fiora.
