Sylvania, a beautiful land of grim moors and dark forests.

Sylvania is a backwater of The Empire, it's widely considered a dammed and accursed land and largely avoided by all sensible people.


In former times Sylvania was a semi-independent province ruled by the Counts of Sylvania. The marriage of Isabella von Drak to Vlad von Carstein led to the Wars of the Vampire Counts, in which three successive Vampire Counts tried and failed to conquer The Empire.

The last count, Mannfred von Carstein, was slain by Martin Elector Count of Stirland, and the land was annexed by Stirland.


Sylvania is currently unofficially ruled by the recently resurrected Mannfred von Carstein.
