Eastern Lands is term used in Warhammer Fantasy Battle to describe any nation that lies to the East of the World's Edge Mountains.
Here is the Warhammer Eastern Lands nations and their real world equivalents:
- Dark Lands: Unusually, not a real-world expy, but rather Warhammer's interperation of Mordor. This hellhole is mostly covered by an Empire of slavers and great hat-owners, but also has some wild Greenskins, Hobgoblins, Ogres, and even one Human settlement.
- Kingdoms of Ind: They have spices, they have many gods, they have tiger beastmen. India.
- Ogre Kingdoms: Despite geographically being some kind of Tibet or Nepal, it's exclusively populated by Bronze Age Mongolian vore fans, who also serve as mercenaries pretty much everywhere.
- Cathay: Ming Era China, and one of the oldest and strong human civilisations that haven't fallen apart yet. They have a Great Wall expy called the Great Bastion in the north and ruled over by the Dragon Emperor and his family. Barely given passing mention in-game, but eventually it got fully fleshed out thanks to Total War: WARHAMMER, and will be backported with the eventual release of the Old World.
- Nippon: Shogunate-era Japan with an overpowered fleet that does nothing, jobbed to Clan Eshin sometime around the closing of time.
- Khuresh: Indochinese tropical hell with some snake people chilling there.
- Eastern Steppes: The lands beyond the Great Bastion, heavily inspired by Siberia and Mongolia, but Chaos-flavored. Both Hobgoblins and Humans here larp as Genghis Khan.
