'Altdorf is the capital city of the human nation called the Empire in the Warhammer Fantasy universe. It is also the capital of the Reikland province of the Empire.
The city is constructed on seven large and many small islands in the River Reik, in the southwest of the Empire. In terms of its culture, architecture, layout, governance and populace is strongly reminiscent of several of the larger cities of Renaissance Europe.
[edit] History
Altdorf is built more or less on the site of Reikdorf, a walled village built by the "Unberogen" tribe. From this tribe Sigmar rose to be a powerful leader who united the tribes and founded the Empire as "Sigmar Heldenhammer the First".
