Ah yes, ornate dress armour. I've seen a couple of memes about that.
Lichtenberg, which gets forgotten despite it being around longer than the Colleges of Magic.Any other provinces besides Ostland never produce an Emperor/Empress?
Vampire Wars wiki page said:Konrad was so unwaveringly vicious that, confronted with his wrath, the three claimants to the Imperial throne put aside their differences and combined forces against him on two separate occasions. The first time was at the Battle of Four Armies, an inconclusive clash fought outside Middenheim in 2100. This battle was most notable for the infamous scene of treachery where Ludwig's son and successor, Lutwik, and Ottilia IV of Talabecland treacherously ordered the assassination of each other during the fray - after all, a battlefield is the ideal place for a blade in the back. In the chaos that followed their mutual destruction, the nobles of the Empire desperately sought to unite under a single leader. Helmut of Marienburg was the prime candidate.[1f]
A conclave of the Elector Counts assembled at Averheim to decide the matter. Even as support for him was gathering in the council hall, Helmut began to act erratically, struck dumb and vacant at a critical time. Helmut's skin began to peel away and one of his eyes dropped out, much to the horror of the assembled counts. Even Helmut's son, Helmar, refused his father's claim to the throne once it was discovered that Helmut was a Zombie under Konrad's control! Discovered, Konrad's Necromancers fled with their Zombie Emperor-to-be. Enraged that his devious plan had failed, Konrad slaughtered his way from Averheim to the Howling Hills, putting to the torch every town and village he came across.
Well that there fault for being dead.Lichtenberg, which gets forgotten despite it being around longer than the Colleges of Magic.
I personally blame Clan Pestilens, since the last known time of Lichtenberg being part of the Empire (900, when the Empire was at the height of expansion) was only a couple centuries before they unleashed The Black Plague on the Empire. No clue if torroar has different thoughts, though.
There's also West Mark (founded in the modern territories of Bretonnia during Sigismund the conqueror's day, might have been folded into Middenland at some point, or simply lost), Sylvania, the Moot, and Grauesland (founded after the first Parravon War within the Grey Mountains between modern Bretonnia and the Empire, on the territory of modern Parravon). For provinces that never got a emperor from their province. Then again, West Mark, Lichtenburg and Grauesland might have a majority of settlers from the empire, not new groups added to the empire as equals placed on top. The empire can be oddly tribal at the strangest of times.I personally blame Clan Pestilens, since the last known time of Lichtenberg being part of the Empire (900, when the Empire was at the height of expansion) was only a couple centuries before they unleashed The Black Plague on the Empire.

I doubt Freddy has a realistic chance of becoming Emperor. With at least 3 electors hating his guts (Middenland, Talabecland and the Moot) and man's own crap diplomacy he is just not a good candidate. Little Magnus on the other hand....Which is what makes Freddy so amazing as well. In-quest, he's likely the first Elector Count of Ostland who has a strong chance of getting elected Emperor in the event of Magnus' passing, were he to stand for it.

Gold Wizards would probably be good as well. They'd probably want half the army in payment, but still.would be pretty shocked if this stays a lost treasure for long with the celestial collage with their divination magic now being a thing
so we'll let Stephan be emperor?
Sigismund IV was also responsible for roadwardens, it failed to save him from the greenskin problem of his day, but it did give a answer to the imperial bandit problem (did not solve the problem, gave a answer to the problem), did help somewhat in the greenskin whaagh aftermath and stands as a long lasting institution that all the provinces accept since around-ish 1707 IC.
Perpetually drunk on something and with lots of gunpowder.I wonder how Ostland roadwardens differ from the other territories roadwardens.

I think it is fine? It's the best we can get here, and it's not that hard to adapt to either.Ugh. I was really hoping that the insert table function would be more like my Excel sheet. But for the life of me I can't get it to unscrunch. It looks even worse on mobile. Dang. I've tried adding spaces, underlines, fonts, stared at the BB editor for a bit and moved on, tried forming brand new tables...
It's still at least somewhat legible, right? Otherwise I'm going to have to, I don't know, take a screenshot and put that on Imgur or something?

Now I really wonder how the Empire survived nearly 1200 years of internal division. Maybe the Sigmarites provinces held together because of religion (since your God founded the Empire, it'd be near heretic to stop believing in the concept/idea of the Empire), but then the majority Ulrican and Taalites region, I wonder why they stuck around, still claiming to be part of the Empire... Maybe because if their claimant to the Imperial throne won, they would have been the top dog in a reunited Empire?

Ostermark didn't break out into the League of Ostermark as its own province independent of Talabecland until, what, the 1900s? Something like that IIRC
According to the wiki for the empire (The informational on Wulfenburg city by QM talks about this too). Sometime during the 5th (401-500) to 10th (901-1000) century IC, during the drive to the frontiers era, Talabecland absorbed Ostermark. And Ostermark wouldn't be independent until sometime around the late 19th century aftermath. Where the comet that shattered Mordheim resulted in a political restructure for Ostermark (central government go bye-bye, need new one). Quest canon stamps Ostermark's League of Ostermark independence/creation on 1900-1905 IC. That's roughly about 1000-1500 years under Talabecland. About 439-444 years not part of talabecland as of 2344 IC.Now I really wonder how the Empire survived nearly 1200 years of internal division.

How did they got a Runefang if they become an independent province long after the founding of the Empire?
Historically Another Ostland/Talabecland Friction Point said:The County of Sylvania gained its independence from Stirland in the chaotic aftermath of the Night of the Restless Dead in 1681 IC, while the towns of Ostermark rebelled against Talabecland with the help of the Ostland Grand Princes, forming the League of Ostermark in 1905 IC.
