Geography and setting

The region sits above the lowland plain of Schwartzistan in a country of ridges, seams and narrow river valleys. Its economy and its settlement pattern follow the geology: the largest places lie where coal and iron ore have historically been worked or moved, and the smaller villages sit in the folds between them, at Niederbruck, Talberg, Ostrahausen and their neighbours, where the ground rises too steeply for much beyond pasture and timber. The region's character, iron, coal and hard people, is set down as the standing description of Kesselhöh in the record and requires no further gloss.
