The fourth warhammer-empire.com campaign

It is the imperial year 2217 and Sigmar's Empire is divided against itself, as it has been for more than eight hundred years. Hostile emperors rule in Middenheim, Altdorf, Talabheim, and Marienburg.

For sixteen years the Empire of Middenland has been ruled by Empress Duccia: murderer, reformer, tyrant. Now she is dead, and a successor to the wolf-throne of Ulric must be chosen at midwinter.

In all of the divided Empire, only the Emperor of Middenland is still chosen by election. Yet the election is a peculiar game of brutality and bribery that seems more like civil war, as the strongest lords of Middenland compete to demonstrate which of them is the most powerful, the most able to rule.

These lords assemble their mercenary armies and prepare to do battle for the support of their lesser peers. When the election comes one of them must be emperor, or Middenland will fall to its many enemies. Each of them is convinced of his absolute right to the throne. Each will take any risk, pay any price, kill anyone who stands in their way.

The wolves howl and winter closes in.
