Carcassone is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer.

In older builds of the game, it used to be called Carcassonne et Brionne.

Background[]

Carcassone is a province of Bretonnia that lies to its extreme south, bordering Estalia and the Irrana Mountains. A highly martial dukedom, even in comparison to other Bretonnian provinces well known for their valour, Carcassonne is a heavily militarised land that focuses its efforts on the eradication of the Greenskin tribes that infest the Irrana Mountains. Nearly all of its people, from the highest noble to the lowest peasant, is a warrior in both skill and spirit. Being skilled at the arts of war is simply expected within most of Carcassonne's communities.

Strangely, the people of Carcassonne, though warriors all, have a particular interest in poetry and music. This ensures a strong bond of friendship with the people of Brionne to the north. The Carcassonnians like to listen to Brionnian minstrels when they have time, and those who can travel visit Castle Brionne to see the wonders of the city. The Carcassonnians are proud of these achievements because, they say, they fight to make such things possible. They fight so that the Brionnians do not have to, and they are justly proud of this.

The overwhelming majority of Carcassone's terrain is pastoral or mountainous. Carcassonnian shepherdesses are particularly renowned in the rest of Bretonnia for strength, courage, and a complete lack of feminine charm. Its eastern portion used to be the land of Glanborielle, but that dukedom was completely swept away by the Greenskin invasion that culminated in the unification of Bretonnia. The area is now distinguished by the hill-forts that were the strongholds of the Glanborien nobility, now abandoned and considered haunted. Beyond them lies Athel Loren, from which the Carcassonians sometimes look towards for support in its battles with Orc and Beastmen raiders from the Irrana Mountains; but such support is dubious at best.
