Ostermark, officially the League of Ostermark, but sometimes called the "East March," is an Electoral Province of the Empire that was formally founded only very late in Imperial history. It lies at the far north-eastern corner of the Empire.

The resulting destruction of the province's central government and the death of its ruling family led the remaining towns and villages of the lands of Ostermark to band together and form a new, oligarchic government which would later become known as the League of Ostermark.

As the homeland of the ancient tribe of the Ostagoths in Sigmar's time, the territories of Ostermark, often referred to as the Empire's "East March," is considered a highly fertile if sometimes hostile landscape.
