The Electorate of Runesburg is a constituent state of the Empire of Dolchland. It was officially established in 1798 after the Duke of Runesburg was granted the title of Elector by the new Emperor Francis I for his service during the War of the Habstrian Succession. The original Duchy was founded in 1678 by Charles III, the Landgrave of Matensburg, following the Matensburgian conquest of the smaller states of the Wuhr valley. The state has been ruled in part by the House of Matensburg since 1280, and grew to be a key player in central and east Dolchland.
