Marshes of Madness
A small, but virulent swamp in the center of Badlands, that was once populated by Lodringen human tribes. Things changed when the sorcerer Kadon found the Crown of Nagash and began worshipping him. Kadon then enslaved his people and built the city of Mourkhain (or Morgheim depending on who you ask) which in the native language meant the place of death. Afterward, he used his new knowledge of Necromancy and the covert assistance of the vampire Ushoran to carve a small empire out of the badlands called Strygos. Eventually, Ushoran got bored of being second in command and decided to overthrow Kadon to become the new king for a couple of centuries. The kingdom was relatively successful under his rule thanks to having untiring zombie laborers, near-zero crime due to the vamps feeding only on criminals, and relatively active trade with other humans and the local dwarves(you know when they weren't going to war with them). Then Neferata caught wind of the place and being the massive narcissist she is she decided that none of her vampire kin was allowed to build an empire that she wasn't in charge of. To avenge this affront to her ego she cajoled some local humans into attacking the kingdom. Although the forces of Strygos fought the barbarians off the distraction allowed a huge horde of ORCS to blindside them and they proceeded to wreck the place. Now it's a ruined wasteland where most of strigoi and strigany (Warhammer's Gypsy expies) come from. It's also a sacred place for greenskins, especially so-called Tree of Beards - a willow tree where orcs and goblins hang severed Dwarf heads.
