Vorbergland
Located between the Reikwald and the Grey Mountains is a region of rolling hills and fertile valleys, known as the Vorbergland, meaning "foothills country." The southeastern part of this region, known as "Suden Vorbergland," is the most fertile region in Reikland. Market towns such as Ubersreik, Stimmigen, and Dunkelberg have grown up around the plentiful agricultural areas. Suden Vorbergland is also called "Ranald's Garden" because of the large amount of wine it produces.
However, the western end of the Vorbergland is wilder and more sparsely populated. It suffers from frequent greenskin and is inhabited by many animals and monsters. In spite of the dangers, it is a popular destination for big game hunters and scholars from the Imperial Zoo.
The many rivers that flow from the Grey Mountains into the Reik are very important for agriculture in the Vorbergland. The Dwarfs of the Grey Mountains have in the past used this to their advantage, damming the rivers during a serious dispute with the Elector Counts over mining rights in 2211 IC. This led to the infamous "runtwater" march of the peasants on Altdorf. Since then, the Electors and Emperors have been ever careful to keep the Dwarfs of the Grey Mountain kingdoms happy.
