In the fantastical world of Warhammer Fantasy, the Bretonnians are a chivalrous and noble human faction known for their romanticized and Arthurian-inspired culture. Hailing from the land of Bretonnia, a feudal realm characterized by vast plains, dense forests, and towering castles, the Bretonnians embody the ideals of knightly honour and the code of chivalry.

The Bretonnian society is organized around a strict feudal hierarchy, with a ruling class of noble lords and ladies who govern their territories with a sense of nobility and duty. At the heart of Bretonnian society is the Grail, a sacred quest that knights embark upon in the pursuit of virtue and purity, seeking the mythical Lady of the Lake. The Lady is a revered deity, and her blessing is believed to grant strength and divine favour to those deemed worthy.

In battle, the Bretonnians field powerful and heavily armoured knights, mounted atop majestic warhorses. These knights are the epitome of martial prowess, wielding lances and charging with thunderous impact, often supported by archers, foot soldiers, and mystical Grail Reliquae. The Bretonnian army places a strong emphasis on the charge and the honour-bound conduct of their knights, making them a formidable force on the battlefield.
