Walchmarken (Vozhsk: Vaĺchney; Voshanskya: Vlachney) is a historical region of Eastern Atmora comprising the states of Doorn, Lower Silesia, Lyria, Saillune, and Tarth and Nysa. Surrounding the Silesian lowlands and the Gulf of Silesia, the region has been inhabited by Hesperians, Walchmarkers, Nervans, Silesians, and the Zlichany.

During the Forty Years' War the Principality of Nerva, County of Walchmarken, and the Duchy of Silesia joined the United Provinces against the Hesperian Empire. The Walchmarken states in 17th century by Lieseltanian King Henry II would be conquered in the Silesian Wars. The states would not regain their autonomy from Lieseltania till the Second Voshan War through the Treaty of Ossenvoorde in 1914. With Walchmarken being spilt along ethnic lines with the Slavic majority being reorganised under Upper Silesia and Polskaya Niamencany.

Historically the region has been a melting pot between Hesperians, Vozhans, and the Lieseltanians. Resulting in the Catholics of the region being predominantly Hesperian or Slavic due to the influence of the Hesperians and Slavs in the region, however during the Silesian Wars the Lieseltanians prosecuted Catholics from 1693 to 1914 in the region. Due to religious prosecution and Lieseltanisation of the region the majority of protestants are part of the Church of Sain Visenna or the Atmoran Evangelical Church are ethnically Atmoran or Voshany.
