Map of Neuland
Neuland is a colony of The Empire in Albion. It was created by Lord Ravenbright but his rule was disputed by Leopold von Stroheim whilst they waited for official recognition from the Emperor Karl-Franz.[1a]
History[]
Driven by the fiery Lord Ravenbright, servants of Emperor Karl Franz established a strong enclave east of Bol-a-hat. Though their expansion was slow due other races and the marshy ground, troops continue to arrive as news reaches the home shores of The Empire.[1a]
Known unofficially as Neuland, this enclave is still a fledgling state and it remains to be seen whether its ruler will gain any real political power in Altdorf. Additionally Ravenbright faced strong opposition from Leopold von Stroheim for control of the growing province, and many think that before Neuland ever receives any official recognition, the two factions will kill each other in civil war.[1a]
As the Empire enclave begins to establish itself, men have started to try and cultivate the lands east of Bol-a-Hat and towards the site of Losteriksson's third landing. As the settlement expanded north, the peasant farmers who arrived after the armies have begun to dig drainage ditches and planting crops in the reclaimed lands, and a few farmsteads have sprung up. However, these are still fairly scattered. The terrain in this area mainly consists of fens and foetid swamps, with some stone circles.[1b]
