Middenland

Middenland, officially the Grand Duchies of Middenland and Middenheim, is a founding Electoral Province of the Empire that lies in the north-central region of that realm. Towering above the gloomy canopies of the Drakwald Forest is a sheer-sided pinnacle of white rock atop which sits the fortress city-state of Middenheim, capital of Middenland and the sacred City of the White Wolf. The White Wolf is the holy symbol of Ulric, the Imperial god of war, winter and wolves.

Ulric is the patron warrior god of the northern Empire, the Cult of Ulric being centred on the region. The impressive Temple of Ulric is a wonder of the city that attracts pilgrims from many realms. A powerful army, clothed in the city-state's colours of blue and white, garrisons the nigh-impregnable walls and tirelessly patrols the roads leading to the Ulricsberg, the fortress that lies on the high hill at the city's heart.
