Though Hochland is mostly covered in forest, the farms along the river banks and around the province's villages are fertile thanks to the many rivers and streams that flow south from the uplands of the Middle Mountains. Deep within Hochland are the Weiss Hills, a treacherous mixture of hill country and fens watched over by the lonely bastion of Fort Schippel. West beyond a strip of Hochland on the left banks of the Drakwasser lies Middenland, and Talabecland lies to the south of the Talabec River, while Ostland girds Hochland's northeastern borders. The woodlands that stretch across large parts of the province are referred to as the Hochland Deeps or the Dark Country among the population. The heavily forested woodlands of the Grand Barony of Hochland.Д¬omprising the eastern end of the Drakwald Forest, Hochland is a heavily wooded province bounded by the Middle Mountains to the northeast and the waters of the Drakwasser, Talabec and Wolfs Run Rivers on the west, south and east, respectively. Hochlanders are also amazing hunters and trackers, skills that originated with the tribal traditions of the Cherusen people who originally settled the region. Like their brethren in neighboring provinces, Hochlanders are amazingly resourceful people, a trait that is common to the folk of the Grand Barony starting in childhood. Дespite their backwards reputation within the Empire's more cosmopolitan regions, the people of Hochland are no less sturdy nor skilled than their Imperial neighbours in terms of military capability, as many of the best archer and marksmen regiments within the Empire's military are native to Hochland. 'Ostland's little brother' is a term often used to describe the Grand Barony, although never in Hochland itself. Д«ecause of these similarities, Hochland is often compared to its larger and wealthier northern neighbor.

Within the boundaries of Hochland, like its neighbor Ostland, lies a portion of the Middle Mountains and vast tracts of untamed wilderness. It lies in the north-central region of the Old World. Hochland, officially the Grand Barony of Hochland, is one of the founding Electoral Provinces of the Empire.
