The Gospodars were the tribal people who crossed the High Pass of the Worlds Edge Mountains from the east. They were well armed, and led by their Khan-Queen Miska the Slaughterer, displaced the native Ungols, and eventually established the nation of Kislev. The Gospodars themselves had been pushed westwards by the growing strength of Chaos.
After founding the city of Kislev, they became known as Kislevites. The Gospodars remain the dominant people of Kislev. They are a wealthy people and have great pride in their accomplishments. They are ruled by Tzarinas and Tzars who have tried to knit the peoples of Kislev into one nation, although there is still significant distinction between the Gospodar and Ungol people. They have attempted to convert all of the people to the Gospodar lifestyle and language and general society, but have failed so far.[2]
