Kislev is the capital of the Empire of Kislev. It is located on the banks of the river Urskoy, a tributary of the Talabec and is home to the Tzars and Tzarinas that rule the country. It is the largest and most well developed of the three cities of Kislev, the others being Praag and Erengrad. Due to its position on the Urskoy, it is practically on the border with the Empire and its population is influenced by many of the traditions and religions of the Empire.

It was founded by Khan-Queen Shoika, who took on the title of Tzar after its completion. It founding also marked the beginning of the Kislevite calender, year 1. Shoika was a member of the aristocratic and well armed and armoured force of Gospodars who came over the World's Edge Mountains after being pushed out by rising assaults from the forces of Chaos. It is famous as it has never fallen to an enemy force although it has been besieged on several ocassions.

At the heart of the city lies the Bokha Palaces, seat of power of the Tzars and Tzarinas. They were rebuilt by Tzar Boris Ursus after he inherited the throne from his father. The old Palace Gospodarin was destroyed in the First Great War against Chaos (778GC\2302IC). It was not rebuilt.
