This canton is defined by the northern shores of eastern Lake Quag and the meadows enclosed by the northern Clatspurs and the Sepia Uplands. The city of Traft is second to Schwarzenbruin in size, but is still less than half the population of the capital. The citizens of the canton are mostly members of the Meerijder, Roodberg and Vuurzward clans, but folk from other clans have settled in the region, seeking new opportunities.

The folk of this region tend to be hard-working and outgoing, willing to lend a hand to their neighbours on the assumption that one day the favour will be returned. They do have a tendency to resent the superior attitudes of the city folk of Schwartzenbruin. Though Traft itself is a sizeable enough city, it has the air of a large country town, with the attitudes to match.

The citizens of Traft have a fair relationship with the gnomish communities that lie in the Sepia Uplands. What would ordinarily be a cordial relationship is tempered by the fact that the increasing number of folk from Traft (and Clatspurgen) settling in the Sepia Uplands led to the establishment of the Canton of Vesbergen in 593 CY, a decision that wasn't popular with many residents of the Sepia Uplands.
