Hochland play out of Hergig. Hochland is well known for its Hunters as well as it's famous long rifle. Young hunters and trappers will often be found playing for Hochland. And some Master Engineers in the hunters guild have donated some long rifles to the Team, which have been modified to fire balls long distances.

History

The Grand Barony of Hochland, like Ostland, has within its boundaries part of the Middle Mountains and vast tracts of forest. Because of this is is often comapred to its larger and wealthier northern neighbour. "Ostland's little brother" is a term often used, although not in Hochland. Despite their backward reputation, the people of Hochland are no less sturdy nor skilled than their neighbours and many of the best archer units of the Empire originate from there.

Hochland is most famous for the hunting rifle, an ingenious weapon designed by the engineer Leon Todmeister. It uses complex engineering techniques to spin a bullet as it exits the barrel extending its range to fearsome proportions. Like their brethren in neighboring provinces, the Hochland people are also quite resourceful, a trait that is often learned from a young age to all sons of a Hochland family.
