Ostland, formally the Grand Principality of Ostland, is a founding Electoral Province of the Empire that makes up much of the northern border of that nation. Ostland is a realm of damp, creeping mists and shifting shadows, and is covered almost entirely by the dark canopy of the Forest of Shadows. The people of this land have learned to live out a rugged life among the ancient trees, clearing patches of land for their farms and settlements, and keeping a watchful eye on the dark depths of the forest.

As the first line of defence for the Empire's northern frontier, the province of Ostland is in a state of near-constant war. Chaos warbands and Norscan marauders raiding from the north are simply a fact of life for Ostlanders, and such harsh living has created a militaristic society in Ostland similar to those which exist in the neighbouring provinces of [[Nordland]] and [[Middenland]].

As the descendants of the ancient tribe of Men known as the Udoses who inhabited what would become Ostland in the times of [[Sigmar]] over two and a half millennia ago, Ostlanders have since earned a reputation amongst the peoples of the other Imperial provinces as a stubborn yet patriotic citizenry, who have fought, bled, and endured countless invasions since before the founding of the Empire.

A popular Ostlander phrase is "A wolf at the door is still a wolf."
