The fortress-city of Antoch, also known as the Crusader City, is the greatest of Bretonnia's settlements outside of its own lands, located on the desert coast of Araby known as the Gulf of Medes[1].

History[ | ]

The mighty city and fortress of Antoch was founded at the conclusion of the Crusades when the victorious Old Worlders vanquished the evil and perverted Sultan Jaffar. The victorious knights tore down idols, burned whole libraries of dangerous books, and eventually retreated to the lands of Bretonnia and the Lady of the Lake. However, some knights, driven into a frenzy of righteousness, decided to remain and build a mighty fortress of virtue that would stand forever against the resurgence of darkness in the lands of Araby.[1]

Antoch, as their city was called, soon became a refuge for all kinds of adventurers from the Old World, and Old Worlder ships found Antoch a vital staging post that allowed them to take on provisions for the dangerous journey westwards to Lustria or south to the Southlands.[1]

Current state[ | ]

In the lore Antoch was burnt down by lustrian Lizardmen under Lord Mazdamundi in order to recover the Staff of Jade. Its left unsaid if the city was later rebuilt or left abandoned. Possibly abandoned since their starting faction in Total War Warhammer II is the undead Dune Kingdom.[1]
