The canton of Schwartzenbruin consists of the eastern half of the Feronwold, running alongside the southern half of Lake Quag's western shore. The vast bulk of the canton's population is centred in the city of Schwartzenbruin itself, with the remainder spread among lakeside villages and scattered homesteads on the Feronwold.

Being the capital and largest city of Perrenland, Schwartzenbruin is the major trade hub of the country, with goods sent via Lake Quag and along the Velverdyva River. With merchants travelling from as far as Greyhawk City and beyond, Schwartzenbruin City has a certain cosmopolitan air not found elsewhere in Perrenland. Residents of the city are proud of their urbane ways, and are often accused by their rural neighbours of "putting on airs".

The rural population of Schwartzenbruin, usually Rosrijder clansfolk, raise herds of fine horses which are trained and sold as warhorses to local mercenaries and abroad. The residents of the canton are understandably proud of their beasts, and a rivalry has sprung up between them and their Weisspeer compatriots in Krestible, whose herds of smaller, nimble hill ponies are also well regarded. Many a tavern brawl has been sparked by heated discussions on the relative merits of various equine stocks.
