Southern Oblast

Southern Oblast is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer. 
In The Realm of Chaos, settlements from this province were transferred to the Eastern Oblast and the River Urskoy province. 
==Background==
To the east of Ostland and Ostermark, the plains and forests extend into the great flatness of Kislev. In contrast to the country's general reputation, the Southern Oblast has a mild climate, so much so that the land is arable almost anywhere, and there are even some orchards. Southern Kislevites are relatively civilised and almost entirely ethnic Gospodars, which leaves them open to accusations from the north of being soft. In compensation, they are among the most enthusiastic warriors in the country, and their stanitsas put even more effort than normal into turning out the best rota of Winged Lancers they can manage.
The people here have the most negative opinion of The Empire, in part to distinguish themselves from their Imperial neighbours. The main reason, however, is that it is not uncommon for Imperial troops to pass through the Southern Oblast and demand food and shelter on their way to fight in the north. The southerners only see the demands, never the battles.
Fort Jakova was established in the south east of the Oblast to keep an eye on the activities of the Greenskins in the World's Edge Mountains, as well as the valuable iron mines in the area. Vitevo meanwhile is a penal colony. Here those who have broken the law or otherwise fallen foul of the Tsarina's secret police are taken inside formidable wooden pallisades to mine salt, hard and often fatal labour.
