REALM OF THE ICE QUEEN
Caught between the sprawling Empire to the south and the maddening wastes of Chaos is Kislev, Realm of the Ice Queen. Legendary for its doughty peoples who stand fast against the ravenous hordes of Chaos spilling out of the north, who endure the incredible cold and the barren bleakness that defies their land and yet persevere, surviving against all odds. Yet Kislev is more than appalling winters and endless struggles against Chaos; it is a rich land with a fascinating culture and history, with a proud people and prouder heritage. It may shield the softer men to the south, serving as the first line of defence against destruction, but it is fiercely independent, strong, and enduring.
