The Elector Count of Middenland is the ruler of Middenland, a powerful province of The Empire. This noble title is usually passed on in a hereditary fashion.

History
Being one of the fifteen Electors, the counts of Middenland cast one of the votes in the election of a new Emperor. Being Elector Counts makes them one of the major candidates for the throne; indeed, some Middenland counts were elected by their peers. During the Age of Three Emperors, a centuries-long civil war, they were the Wolf Emperors, leaders of a major faction.
Middenland was separated from Middenheim in 1550[1a]. A marriage between the Countess von Bildhofen of Middenland with Boris Todbringer of Middenheim reunified the two states under a single ruler in 2371[2]
Since then the Elector Counts of Middenland have resided in the semi-independent city-state of Middenheim, Middenland's capital. The current Elector Count of Middenland is Boris Todbringer II[3][1b]
