Bastonne, formerly Bastonne et Montfort, is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer. 
==Background==
Bastonne, formally the Dukedom of Bastonne, is a founding dukedom of Bretonnia that lies at its very centre. Bastonne was at one time the very heart of all Bretonnia, its founding duke being none other than Gilles le Breton, first King of Bretonnia.
Bastonne is in many ways the spiritual heart of the kingdom, for the great cathedral of the Cult of the Lady is situated within the walls of Castle Bastonne itself. It is also said that the Sacred Lake where Gilles and his Grail Companions first met the Lady of the Lake can be found somewhere deep within the Forest of Chalons, which lies on the eastern border of Bastonne. The Grail Chapel of Bastonne houses the original codes of chivalry drawn up by Gilles' son, Louis the Rash.
As such, the people of Bastonne are especially arrogant and conceited, more so than perhaps any other dukedom within the kingdom. The Bastonnians have a tendency to want to prove their superiority towards all other lands and kingdoms, often belittling the achievements of others yet often showing very little of their own themselves. Nevertheless, the dukedom has within its ranks the greatest concentration of Grail Knights in the kingdom, as well as many of Bretonnia's greatest heroes, such as Calard of Garamont and Jasperre le Beau. Bastonne is currently ruled by Duke Bohemond Beastslayer, who is himself a mighty Grail Knight.
Bastonne contains a wide variety of landscapes. It is bounded on its northern and eastern sides by the river Grismerie and in the south by the Gilleau. The western part of the dukedom is mainly arable, whilst the eastern regions are pastoral. The mountains of the Massif Orcal spill over from Quenelles, and to their west, much of the Forest of Châlons lies within this dukedom. The greatest threat Bastonne faces is from the forest and the Massif, which are the haunt of Greenskins, Beastmen and worse.
