For the minor faction, see Nordland.

Nordland is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer. It begins the campaign controlled by the Nordland minor faction. In The Realm of Chaos, the settlement of Norden was moved here from the province of Ostland.

Background[ | ]

Nordland is an Electoral Province of The Empire that lies on the northwestern shores of that realm. The lands of Nordland did not truly exist during the founding of the Empire, for the Was Jutones of both Nordland and Westerland refused Emperor Sigmar's invitation to his Empire. It wasn't until the 8th century IC that the Was Jutones were finally subjugated and forced into the Empire as a new province by Emperor Sigismund II.

Since its incorporation as a province, Nordland has become famous for hosting the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy and its heavily tolled coastal roads, which provide both safe passage for rich merchants heading towards the city of Marienburg and the main source of income for its provincial government. Many sea fortresses and watch-towers line the coast of Nordland, as Norscan raiders from across the Sea of Claws are an all-too-common threat that can't be ignored without dire consequences. Raids and retaliatory raids between the Nordlanders and their cousins across the seas are so ingrained upon their history and culture, that none can fathom any other way of living.

The State Troops of Nordland, including the Nordland Marines, wear the distinctive blue and yellow uniforms of their province. The provincial banner, on the other hand, bears a depiction of a Sea Eagle clutching a shield with an image of an Imperial warship, the heraldry also used as the coat of arms of the province's Elector Count Theoderic Gausser. Traditionally the noble who serves as Elector Count of Nordland is also the prince of Marienburg as well, and this has been a point of contention since that city-state seceded from the Empire in 2429 IC. Other oft-seen emblems of Nordland include the Imperial Cross, various ships, anchors or fish icons, and the five-pointed crown of the sea god Manann.
