The Unberogen tribe of Humans settle the land where Altdorf now lies, and begin fortifying the area. It will be sacked many times by rival tribes, Beastmen, Orcs, Goblins, and other vile creatures. Nevertheless, the site is strategically important at the confluence of the Reik and Talabec, and a mixture of conquest and trade helps the settlement flourish. Soon, scholars claim, the fortified town is known as the ‘rich village’, or Reichsdorf. As centuries pass, this becomes Reikdorf, with the surrounding land called the Reikland.

Twelve Chiefs Become Counts
Sigmar names the twelve tribal chiefs his ‘counts’, which modern scholars claim can be sourced in the Classical word comes, meaning ‘companion’, for they were his companions on the battlefield against the Greenskins and against the Chaos tribes from the north.

Battle of Nuln
In 2499, after long years of building up strength beneath the cities of the Empire, the Skaven mounted a full-scale attack once again.
It had long ago been discovered that Man-things could be bribed or blackmailed into aiding the Skaven: a campaign of manipulation and bribery targeted many key individuals, the most important of whom was Fritz von Halstadt, the Chief Magistrate of Nuln. When the Skaven’s plan to spark another civil war in the Empire was thwarted by a couple of sewer jacks, the enraged Grey Seer Thanquol mounted a vengeanceattack on the city. Troops from the four Greater Clans (Eshin, Moulder, Pestilens, and Skryre) and several Warlord Clans poured out of the sewers: close to half the city was destroyed, and a force of Stormvermin almost captured the Elector Countess Emmanuelle von Liebewitz.

Ubersreik Freed!
Ubersreik Freed! Emperor Karl-Franz I passes a surprise edict through the Reikland Diet at midnight and uses it to seize Ubersreik, forcing Graf Sigismund to retreat to the Duchy of Black Rock. The town, and its surrounding province, are left without a formal ruler, although an Imperial Herald representing Karl-Franz fulfils almost all of that role. What this means for the future of Ubersreik, and the Empire, is uncertain.
