Region (lore)


 * Not to be confused with an in-game region which is a sub-area of a province.

A region is a group of provinces on the campaign map that is somehow distinct from other areas. Regions are technically not part of the game mechanics of Total War (campaign maps are divided into provinces and local regions). Regions are distinct continents, landmasses or other areas which appear in Warhammer Fantasy lore, and are referenced many times in the games.

Not every region from the lore should be included here. Only those which are directly relevant to Total War campaigns and referenced many times in the games.

Regions

 * Chaos Wastes - in the far north of the Warhammer world lie a frozen wasteland, warped by the raw magical energy of Chaos, and home to the Warriors of Chaos
 * The Old World - a temperate area of forests and fields, dominated by human factions such as The Empire, Marienburg, Bretonnia, Kislev, Tilea, Estalia and the Border Princes
