	In case you can't tell, Kislev is like Tsarist Russia. But only in the weak, decadent south. In the strong, manly north, it actually turns into Mongolia, Poland and the Turkic countries (Khazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc). And the Kurgans who dwell east of the Norsemen are basically Siberians.		In case you can't tell, Kislev is like Tsarist Russia. But only in the weak, decadent south. In the strong, manly north, it actually turns into Mongolia, Poland and the Turkic countries (Khazakhstan, Uzbekistan, etc). And the Kurgans who dwell east of the Norsemen are basically Siberians.

	In essence, Kislev is a fantasy version of Russia with dollops of every other Eastern European country because normies can't tell the difference. It's also named after Kievan Rus, as in the old ~~Russian~~ kingdom and the current capital city of Ukraine, all GW did was tack on two letters in the middle of Kiev (actually, Kislev is a month in the Hebrew calendar, which makes sense, considering that millions of Ashkenazi Jews lived in Eastern Europe for centuries until WWII). In the 1980s when Kislev was created, Russia and Ukraine were both republics with the USSR.

	Also, Kislev is no more according to the whole return of Nagash thing GW had planned. At last, Archaon has done that which Napoleon, Hitler, the USA and the EU could only dream of -- the annihilation of Russia.

	For most of the nation's history, the Gospodar people held virtually all the power in the nation with almost all of the nobles being Gospodar and the Tzars and Tzarinas all being descended from the first Gospodar Khan-Queens. This began to change later on largely because the current Tzarina Katrarin Bohka began uplifting more and more Ungol men into leadership roles to further tighten her grip on the nation. Given her strength of character and the magic power she wields, some people have begun to whisper she may be Miska’s reincarnation.

	According to various sources including 2nd ED of [[Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay]] and the 15th issue of Games Workshop's citadel magazine, their military consisted of the following: On the magic front there are Ice witches, an exclusively female group that wields the power of...well ice magic...which interestingly does not draw power from the winds of magic and hag witches (another all-female group) who bind the spirits of the land to themselves rather than use the winds in order to cast curses, predict the future, cleanse stuff, banish malevolent spirits, and give themselves a melee combat boost by turning themselves into a monster called the Form of the Ancient Widow. Due to a legend dating back to the age of Tzarina Shoika stating that a male magic-user would appear and taint ice magic forever Kislev has banned male magic-users entirely. Any male magic-users discovered by the state are either killed, forced to undergo a ritual that removes their magic at the cost of turning them into a husk of their former selves, or forced to flee to the Colleges of Magic in the Empire. Meanwhile, on the conventional army side, Kislev's forces consist of: Kossars, the axemen-archer infantry of the standing army of Kislev recruited from any who can pass fitness and correspondingly has an excellent reputation on the field of battle along with a terrible one-off of it. Streltsi, an elite infantry subset of the Kossars first formed after a Kislev noble viewed the gunpowder portion of [[The Empire (Warhammer Fantasy)\|the Empire trifecta]] put a Chaos horde to rout and decided to ape their halberds and handgunners, Streltsi are literally just the real Russian Streltsy but with more brotherhood and loving their guns so much that it's said they might find someone sleeping with their wife to be less offensive than shooting their handgun without their permission. Ungol Horse Archers, auxiliaries from the northern tribes which are basically Huns or Mongols in their natural state for battle. Winged Lancers, which are totally the Polish Winged Hussars but based from their settlements rather than part of the standing army and wear wings on their back with the explanation of them causing an unnerving sound as they ride being adapted from a common theory to the real Winged Hussars. And finally the Gryphon Company, the most prominent and heaviest company of Winged Lancers ever which is comprised of noblemen who fletch their wings with Griffon feathers and commonly act as mercenaries while not defending Kislev from Chaos invasion. They come downright close to an actual Imperial Knight order. For extra firepower and to deal with enemy fortifications the army of Kislev has access to Mortars and Urugan cannons which are basically Kislev's version of the Empire's Great Cannons. Also adding a bit of extra cool factor to their army, [[Awesome\|at least one example of bear cavalry is canon according to WFRP]], with the prior-to-current Tzar Boris Bokha riding into battle on a bear that was tamed after they defended one another from a wolf pack attacking them while Boris had tried to break and tame the bear more conventionally.

	Interestingly the same Role playing book that introduced Bear Cavalry also confirmed the fact that Kislev was once ruled by a Lahmian vampire Tzarina named Kattarin the Bloody (no relation to the current Tzarina) around Magnus the Pius time until she was ousted by a mortal relative Tsarevich Pavel who got a vampire hunting group named after him for this feat. Prior to this more recent mention, the Vampire Tzarina thing had only been mentioned in the Vampire [[Genevieve Sandrine du Pointe du Lac Dieudonné\|Genevieve]] books.

	During 6th Kislev got hold of it's own mini-army book that was designed to be used in tandem with other armies such as the Empire and Bretonnia. As a result there were only 7 units available in the army, with 2 of them being Special characters, 1 being a generic Hero and 3 generic units being Cavalry, leaving [[Kossars]] as the only Core infantry unit available. In addition to this there were no real army special rules, since each unit has a specific special rule that applied to that unit, such as Kossars ''Steady in the Ranks'' and [[Winged Lancers]] ''Glorious Charge.'' Overall the Kislev army relied heavily of Cavalry to be the hammer and skirmishers, while the relatively flexible, but lightly armoured (read; No armour) Kossars acting as both ranged and front line units, and while the lack of any artillery units, heavy infantry or magic users outside of [[Katarin]] meant that Kislev was ill-equipped to deal with most other armies, these rules were designed to be used as an allied contingent to an army like the Empire, which could bring all the cannons and Full-plate you could want.

	As of February Third, Kislev has been confirmed to be one of the Core Races in Warhammer 3. The announcement has come after a series of teasers hinting at the coming of the 4 Chaos Gods, and saying that only the Bear God Ursun can save the world now. An image leak also shows what appears to be a Kislev army fighting a Khornate horde. The first game trailer for Warhammer 3 revealed Kislev as one of the main factions. This suggests that once again Kislev will have to do all the heavy lifting in saving the Warhammer World. ([[Cathay]] will be helping. Which is [[Awesome\|'''not''' a criticism]].)

	In fact, the whole having to act as a bulwark for the world thing is a plot point, at least in the Kislev campaign, as according to a new cinematic trailer one Kislevite Boyar by the name of Slavin Kurnz apparently got sick of having to protect the world and went full-blown [[Heresy\|Heretic]] by joining up with Khorne's forces. The new gameplay trailer has shown off a LOT more bear cavalry with a bear riding patriarch of Ursun, a giant Ice Bear Elemental, a cannon called Little Grom being pulled on magically summoned ice by two ice bears (I'm sensing a theme here hbu?) shown off.

	Katarin was also shown along with the Tzar guard, Kossars with a new pike variant, Ungol horse archers, the winged lancers and the gryphon legion, the ice guard, and the Streltsi who wield GUN-AXES now instead of their old axe and handgun combo like the real world counter parts (the game describes how they held onto the gun for one more shot and then used it as a club so often that the army said "fuck it" and just put axe blades on them). Later after release we discovered they also had two kinds of gun armed war sleds pulled by bears, a magical snow leopard, and a new cavalry unit in the form of the Sabre wielding Kossovite Dervishes…which is an incredibly stupid name for a unit that’s from a faction based on Russia instead of say…I don’t know…Araby!

	According to the new [[Total War: WARHAMMER]] lore, now the worship in Kislev is regulated by the institute known as '''The Great Orthodoxy''', which was founded by Tzar Boris himself. His motivation to create it was to help in the reunification of the country after the [[Great War Against Chaos]] and to prevent some tribes and/or more civilised villages from worshipping [[Chaos]]. The Orthodoxy, as the Kislev mechanics post shows, recognises Ursun, Dazh, Tor and Salyak, with Ursun priests being quite obviously at the top of their hierarchy. In theory, the Orthodoxy was created to help consolidate and centralize the influence and authority of Kislev's various religious sects, thus theoretically being even more unified than the [[Morr\|Empire's]] [[Sigmar\|competing]] [[Ulric\|cults]]. The game ~~also~~ shows that Kislev also worships the motherland itself, not as a being but as a force that comes to their aid. Which it does, as elemental bears ~~rise up to protect it~~.

In desperation the Tzarina sends out the Ungol descended Prince [[God-Slayer\|Yuri Barkov]]…who according to a short story is actually both her childhood friend and her secret lover (certainly explains why she started to let the Ungols into the nobility). Yuri sets out to find Ursun accompanied by his brother Gerik and some forces and guided by a voice he thinks is Ursun’s. However after picking up some cursed artifacts from some chaos warriors and getting mind warped by some chaotic knowledge Yuri goes mad with power and kills his own brother so as to summon some Khornate demon to aid him in killing a traitorous boyar and opening a path to Ursun. After reaching the forge of souls Yuri discovers a captive Ursun…but also learns the voice that lead him here was not Ursun but Be'lakor whose been living as an incorporeal shadow since he pissed off the chaos gods. The first demon Prince then proceeds to goad Yuri into wounding Ursun with the demon pistol Yuri took from the dead Boyar. Be'lakor then uses the blood from Ursun’s wound to regain a physical form, Yuri after nearly dying gets turned into a Demon Prince called [[God-Slayer]] by the chaos gods, a massive storm of magic breaks out throughout the world and now all the various in game factions are rushing (for one reason or another) to get to Ursun before Be'lakor can use the power from the bear’s imminent death to become a chaos god of shadows.
