  Sylvania

  "It was a dreadful place; a land perpetually shrouded in gloom and mist, where abandoned castles glared down like hungry ogres on the dismal roads; where sullen villagers, some bearing obvious stigmata of mutation, mumbled dark warnings against going abroad by night; and where, one evening, a red-eyed, pale-faced nobleman studied us hungrily through the curtained window of his night-black coach, for all the world like a Braian epicure inspecting his next meal... Of all the awful lands that I had then journeyed through, I have no hesitation in saying that Sylvania was easily the most dire." —From My Travels With Gotrek, Vol. IV, by Felix Jaeger. Altdorf Press, 2505

    Sylvania, formally the County of Sylvania, is a formerly independent realm that had its territories absorbed by the Grand County of Stirland, an Electoral Province of Rhemia. But perhaps the most defining feature of this backwater region of the eastern Old World is that it is considered the rightful domain of the Von Carstein family with the current ruler being Vlad von Carstein, whose claim is disputed by the counts of Stirland. As far as most Rhemia folks are concerned, the County of Sylvania may as well be in a different country all-together. Despite its proximity to the Mootland and Zhufbar, Halflings and Dwarfs are virtually unknown there. Technologically, it lags behind the rest of Rhemia, and gunpowder is treated as a frightening marvel. The emergent middle class of Rhemia scarcely exists, and an unbridgeable gap between the peasantry and the nobility persists, even more so than in Braia.
