Editing Stirland (section)

== Military ==
Stirland is not much of a military province, but is unfortunately a strategically important location for any vampire who wants to try their hand at being a Dark Lord and thinks they can beat Vlad's high score. The barrows of the Styrigan tribe stretch across the moors, attracting treasure hunters looking for a payday and vampires and necromancers looking for a place in the history books. Many battles, including the decisive defeat of Mannfred von Carstein at Hel Fen, have been fought on Stirland's muddy soil.

Internally, the majority of Stirland's military activity is the duty of policing the River Stir, keeping it clear as part of the Empire's vital waterborne trade network. The Stir River Patrol operates patrol vessels and garrisons fortified ports, defending commerce from piracy on the water and banditry on land. The uniforms of Stirland's soldiers are usually patchy, serviceable enough with a few flashes of Stirland green and yellow and much-mended armor and weapons, although the occasional wealthy nobleman will make things worse by overcompensating by buying uniforms for their men that even an Averlander would be embarrassed to wear.

In the age of three emperors the count of Stirland had even resorted to creating his very own slave army. Two controversial members were Ulli Leitpold & Marquand Volker who after betraying their unit went on a crime spree in Mordheim before killing eachother.
