"The Beastmen want to eat more meat,
the lords want to build higher walls,
we build walls, they eat meat.
Let us pray,
that we build walls high enough,
and the Beastmen eat enough meat.
Otherwise, the Beastmen will eat our meat."
— A Northern Empire nursery rhyme, "High Walls and Meat"

Over seventy percent of the Midland Province is covered by Drakwald, with less than thirty percent of the land controlled by humans. The territories are fragmented and scattered. Hawk Territory only has some villages and cities along the southern Talabeck River, while the north is almost entirely covered by forests and mountains, making the capital, Hesige, frequently threatened by Beastmen and Chaos Warbands, often putting it in a state of emergency.
