Stirland

The Grand County of Stirland lies towards the center of the Empire with Reikland west, Talabecland  north, Ostermark  east and Averland  and Assembly South.Stirland is a rugged highlands province and mixed. Fame and rural backwater. In the east is the terrifying Sylvania, with its misty enchanted forests and ancient castles, dark resting on the craggy peaks like vultures looking black people to their feet. Sylvania is a place that most stirlandeses prefers to forget.==Overview== The County is governed by Alberich Haupt-Anderssen from Wurtbad City (on the banks of the River Stir), and it is said that if at the tender age of 16 can not govern Stirland, who leave an Elector Count. Of course, do not say it in his presence. Not far from Wurtbad is the College of Magic Earth, built on the western slope of a hill to catch the sunset light. About the College there are plenty of cultivated fields to those who work there. Alberich, a stalwart Sigmarite, does not support the followers of Ulric, so that all his government positions are held by followers of the faith in Sigmar. When he ascended to power after the death of his father (which he maintains he was for a plot of Ulricanos), took a few followers of Ulric remaining in office and replaced by people you trust. Of course, in the background, has always been in Stirland dislike Ulric, and even more people dislike Talabecland (something that comes along, from the Age of Three Emperors). Alberich antipathies are not exactly softened by his chief advisor, Hergare Bardin, a priest Sigmarite with very traditional views (as the name "sound Dwarf ") that has been feeding the young and impressionable minds with visions Alberich Stirland a state of "pure". Bardin has whispered in their ears many times that Sigmar hates mutants, and Halflings are not much more than that, and therefore should not be allowed to stay in the place of one of the most famous battles of Sigmar, Western Plains of Stirland. Bardin has also recommended that the followers of ulric Stirland living near the border with Talabecland be "relocated" elsewhere, and repopulate the area with famílias Sigmarites. All this is what Alberich has heard ... Why has not always been very happy with the Halflings of the Assembly and the land they occupy, and never liked the followers of Ulric or Talabecland people. Just a matter of time before the young Graf convince Bardin transform those words into action. (Mind you, saying that is the ruler Bardin Stirland actually be unthinkable, since it enjoys a very good position in the Church of Sigmar, both rumored to to be Arch Lector ...) Virtually all is full of farms Stirland self rather than major cities, small towns or lost through the woods.==Inhabitants== Elector Count of Stirland is Alberich Haupt-Anderssen, and live in the city of Stirland, Wurtbad. At 16 years old is the youngest current Elector Count of the Empire. He took the throne after his father's unexpected death in mysterious circumstances.===Military=== Wary of strangers, the bloodline of stirlandeses is one of the least diluted the Empire. They are superstitious people, but also are cautious, quiet, thoughtful and patient. They are also tight, suspicious, intolerant and narrow-minded. For them, "if something works from the past, does not make sense to change it now." They have absurd and barbarous customs to the other inhabitants of the Empire as drinking warm beer. They keep a great resentment towards halflings about losing their best lands to create Assembly nearly a thousand years. Sylvania People are serious, never laugh, very superstitious and fatalistic.Stirland is a poor province with rustic customs that support many of the penalties that led wars against Vampire. His soldiers, as citizens, are poor and their weapons and armor are pretty simple. In fact, many of the troops Stirland state can not afford to keep green and yellow uniforms, and only carry a symbolic gesture for their traditional uniform. The rural nature of Stirland, and constant mockery of its inhabitants, not be confused with weak Stirland soldiers. In battle, are so devoted and fierce as any Imperial soldier.==Estate== Although students of Stirland always emphasize pure blood coming Unberogen, the reality is that its roots back to the Unberogens, Talabecs and Fennone.Religion in Stirland. EditionWhen normal is that worship Sigmar in all provinces of the Empire and to a lesser extent the other gods at once, or even the other but exclusively in Sigmar Benera Stirland is uniquely and reject the rest openly gods. The stirlandeses persiguir have even the followers of the other gods, but especially of Ulric , driving them from public office in the province.While religious tolerance is an unwritten law in the Empire, in Stirland is where other religions are tolerated but less so.===History===
 * One of the biggest battles of the time of Sigmar land was made in Stirland. It was the first time that all human tribes of what would be the Empire fought together and defeated a vast horde goblinoid. Even today one can find traces of that battle.
 * In the year 1000 according to the Imperial Calendar, Ludwig the Fat made in a document Halflings Real that could occupy a small part of Stirland: the Assembly. Halflings also gained administrative autonomy and even a vote Imperial (Ancient vote of the Assembly has as much as an Elector Count). When, in the year 1152 the council ended in stalemate Elector, Grand Duke of Talabecland raised an army and entered Stirland. Thus began the Age of Wars and Empire was plunged into a civil war for the next 200 years.
 * In 1359 the Grand Count of Stirland was elected Emperor in Nuln. In response, the Grand Duchess of Talabecland declared herself Empress Talabheim no choice. The Emperor tried Talabheim declare war, but also Middenheim the conflict erupted. In 2145, the Battle of Hell Fenn saw the end of the Age of Vampires and, according to the chronicles of the time, it was the Count Martin of Stirland which ended with the Lord of the Vampires, Carstein Mannfred. Thus the Sylvania claimed Stirland Conde. No one objected (of course nobody wanted those cursed lands).
