The Elector Count of Stirland was the ruler of Stirland, a province of The Empire. This noble title was usually passed on in a hereditary fashion.
Overview
Being one of the fifteen Electors, the counts of Stirland cast one of the votes in the election of a new Emperor. Being Elector Counts made them one of the major candidates; indeed, several Stirland counts were elected by their peers.
They resided in the town of Wurtbad, Stirland's capital, and were often rivals with the Elector Counts of Talabecland. The last Elector Count of Stirland, ruling during the End Times, was Alberich Haupt-Anderssen[1][2]
