The Elector Counts of Marienburg were the rulers of Marienburg. How this noble line acquired a Runefang is unknown, but its possession strongly implies that they were Elector Counts of their own right.

In 1979 IC, during the Age of Three Emperors, those Electors who still participated in the imperial elections chose the underage Countess Magritta of Marienburg as elected Empress. Many, probably most, of the Electors had been bribed by wealthy Marienburg merchants [1].

The Grand Theogonist refused to acknowledge the election; his refusal de facto ended the line of elected Emperors.


Supported by Marienburg merchants, the Countess later advanced her claim for the imperial throne. Her claim was later passed on to her heirs, who were counted among the main candidates for the imperial throne besides the Reikland pretenders, the Wolf Emperors and the Ottilian Emperors.


The circumstances of the end of this noble line are unknown, but it was before 2429 when burgomeisters of Marienburg bribed Dieter IV in exchange for the independence of the Wasteland. The Elector Count of Nordland currently holds the title of Prince of Marienburg but is forbidden to even enter the city upon pain of death.
