Reikland, officially the Grand Principality of Reikland, is one of the founding Electoral Provinces of the Empire. It is located in the southwestern Empire in the centre of the Old World continent. Reikland has been the most important state of the Empire for nearly one hundred years, for it surrounds Altdorf, the current Imperial capital city, and its state armies are those under the command of the Emperor Karl Franz I himself.
Reikland was one of the provinces created at the founding of the Empire during the reign of its first emperor, Sigmar Heldenhammer. Indeed, in the eyes of the Imperial citizenry, the territories of the Reikland are considered the heartland of the Empire culturally, politically, economically, religiously and in every other way that matters.
The Reiksguard, pride of the province's state army and the most powerful and prestigious regiment in the Empire, are the bodyguard of the Emperor himself.[1a] The Emperor is able to provide the finest equipment and training available for his own state army; as a result, the armies of Reiksguard are said to be the most disciplined troops in the Empire. They are famous for their precise coordination and their steady resolve: few foes can perturb the valiant men of Reikland.
