Talabecland

Talabecland, formally known as the Grand Duchy of Talabecland or the Grand Freistadt of Talabecland, is one of the founding Electoral Provinces of the Empire and is located at its geographical centre. The provincial capital city of Talabecland is Talabheim, a large city-state built inside a titanic meteorite crater miles upon miles wide. The very province itself is named after Taal, the god of the wilderness of the Old World Pantheon, and he is considered the province's patron god after Sigmar himself.

Talabecland is perhaps one of the largest of the Imperial provinces, and its dominant features include its dominion over the River Stir and the River Talabec, as well political control over nearly all of the Great Forest. Much of the province's trade flows along these rivers, as well as trade that flows through to the north and south along the Great Forest Road.

When times are relatively tranquil, the province is a thriving centre of commerce and the many coaching inns that line the roads of Talabecland are typically filled to capacity with merchants and tradesmen of all kinds and nationalities. In Talabecland lies the major fortress-city of Heldenhame Keep, which is situated on several key trade routes.
