This region lies nestled between the cantons of Schwartzenbruin and Clatspurgen, and consists of the thin stretch of the Yatils that border the western side of the Velverdyva River and the southern portion of the meadows that are hemmed in by Lake Quag and the Clatspurs.

There is something of a social division within Quagfludt, as the lowlands tend to be where the nation's outcasts and ne'er-do-wells gather, whilst the highlands are home to the more respectable Vosser clansfolk. In general, it is the "riffraff" who define the overall view of this canton, as folk tend to remember encounters with scoundrels more so than they do meetings with ordinary folk.

It is certainly true to say that the Laaglanders of Quagfludt have less of a regard for laws than most other folk, but it would be unfair to categorise them all as villains. Indeed, Quagfludt lowlanders make sought after (if not completely trusted) scouts. Entertainers and rogues congregate in the settlements that dot the meadows and lakeshores of Quagfludt, where the easygoing atmosphere best suits them. Little do they care that they may be rubbing shoulders with bandits and lake pirates.

Across the Velverdyva, however, folk are more law-abiding. In the west the Vosser clansfolk go about their business, little troubled by their lowlander fellows. A Vosser Hooglander usually cares little for the activities of the folk across the water - mountain life is hard enough without worrying about what the stupid Laaglanders are up to. The few Laaglanders who have crossed the river to bring mischief are usually dealt with swiftly and firmly, as Vosser clansfolk are often less than subtle in making their opinions of such skullduggery known.

There remain valleys in the Yatils that bear the taint of the sorceress Iggwilv's reign. Though she is long gone, her evil has not been completely removed. The locals know to avoid such places...

The Vosser clan is represented by their Voorstammann (non-hereditary Pfalzgraf), while the laaglanders annually elect the Hintervoormann (though "elect" is a loose term to describe the bribery and outright corruption involved in this process).
