Teutogen

"I anoint myself with the blood of Ulric that I shall not fear to bleed.
 * I pledge myself to Ulric's work that I shall not fear to suffer.
 * I give myself to Ulric that I shall not fear to die."

The Teutogen Tribe, known previously as the Tutokin people were an ancient war-like people once occupying the lands of what is today Middenland, with their people eventually renaming themselves as Middenlanders. This tribe had settled within the domains of the Old World at around the year of -1000 IC, alongside many of the founding tribes that made up much of the Empire. Once the tribes of the Teutogens arrived upon the northwestern lands of the Empire, they plundered and conquered all the lands from the River Reik all the way towards the Middle Mountains. Though their territories were vast, the Teutogen were deeply devoted to their warrior-god Ulric, God of Winter and Wolves. And so, the Teutogens continued to search for a safe place for their people, until a vision from their patron god Ulric led them to a flat-topped mountain that stood like a fortified island amongst the surrounding dense forest lands. There they built their great settlement of Middenheim and named the mountain Fauschlag, though it is today more commonly known as the Ulricsberg.

There the people of the Teutogen lived their lives to the principles of Ulric, fighting and defeating many of their neighboring Human tribes for plunder and land until finally the Warrior-King Sigmar challenged King Artur in a duel and took over as their new Cheiftain.
