A relic of long past crusades into Araby , the city of Sudenburg and it's surrounding environs is an oddity, a small grafting of the Empire placed in the Southlands. Northern style architecture (if made from local materials and adjusted to deal with the heat) distinguishes it from the more common Arabyan designs and old Nehekaran ruins and the people of this land pray to Sigmar and Ulric, although some benign local gods are also worshiped by a large section of the population. It's relations with the Empire remain intact, but the link is a loose one at best. Sudenburgers will occasionally give tribute to the Emperor in Altdorf, favor Imperial merchant captains and they do offer support to Imperial Navy ships which come this way, but do not pay regular taxes. They follow the laws of the Empire in general, but in practice the Baron of Sudenburg rules as an independent lord. Their is a lot of legal grey area in regards to Sudenburg and depending on who you ask it is either an ally, vassal and part of the Empire. Some have considered bolstering their foothold in that region of the world, but said efforts generally don't go far.





Many of the people of Sudenburg are descendants of Imperial Soldiers and Camp Followers, but over time many local people have integrated and assimilated into the colony, giving it a distinct polyglot character. For all of that the Baron of Sudenburg raises forces which are much like those of the Empire proper, though their uniforms are usually leave more skin exposed due to the harsh southern heat. Companies of Halberdiers, Swordsmen and Musketeers as well as a few pistoliers and the knights of the local Order of the Southern Blade form ranks to fight off Druchii Raiders, Southern Orcs and the occasional attack by undead armies led by the Tomb Kings.
