Ulric

Ulric is the mighty god of winter, wolves and war, worshiped as the foremost god of warfare among the tribes of the Reik Basins long before the rise of Sigmar and Myrmidia. Ulric the Mighty, Ulric the Proud, Ulric the wolf as white as snow. Though his cult has been overshadowed by that of Sigmar, at least in the southern territories of the Empire, the wild provinces of the north know that there is only one true warrior in whom they can place their faith.

According to the legend, Ulric once walked the land. Leading a tribe of warriors known as the Teutogens from the East, they slaughtered their way through the indigenous forest tribes of the Reik to prove their dominance. Dedicating every kill in honour of their war-god. After uncounted years of war, Ulric led these bloody tribesmen onto a great mountain in the frigid forests of the icy north. Here, he struck the mountaintop flat with his fist, and a great flame sprung up from where his fist had struck. The Teutogens followed this light, and though they were set upon by packs of great wolves, they hefted their axes and hammers and answered the howls with their own, slaying the beasts and fighting on. Ulric was pleased with this, and bathed the Teutogens in a pale light that caused the wolves to panic and flee. The Teutogens, in awe of this hallowed place, which they named the Fauschlag, meaning "Fist-Strike" in their dialect of Old Reikspiel, immediately swore to build the grandest of temples at this site -- where they would forever worship mighty Ulric, their god of Winter, Wolves and War.

Ulric's faith spread throughout the other tribes who had settled the Reik Basin alongside the Teutogens. Eventually, he had become the foremost warrior-god of the tribesmen, and the patron of many tribes aside from the Teutogens, such as the Unberogens and Thuringians. To the Teutogens, however, Ulric would always be their god, their mighty chieftain who had led them to glory.
