Revision as of 23:33, 31 January 2012
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.
Being of the 15 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; 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 [1]. 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].
