Ulric is among the eldest and harshest of the gods of men, the wolf-god of winter, war, and raw strength. Where gentler deities offer comfort, Ulric offers only the cold truth that the strong endure and the weak perish. His blessing is not kindness but ferocity, and his faithful embrace hardship as a forge that tempers the soul.
His great temple stands in the mountain-city of Middenheim, where the Sacred Flame of Ulric has burned without fault since the dawn of the faith. Legend holds that it was Ulric who blessed Sigmar before the founding of the Empire of Man, and for centuries the cult of the wolf-god stood as the foremost faith of the northern tribes, rivalled only by the younger cult of Sigmar.
The priests of Ulric are warriors first and clergy second. They scorn armour as a crutch of the fearful, wield great hammers and axes, and hurl themselves into the thickest slaughter with the fury of the winter wolf. His most devoted champions, the White Wolves, are counted among the fiercest knights in all the lands of men.
Ulric demands courage, honour, and strength in battle, and holds cowardice and surrender to be the only true sins. In the frozen north, where the horns of Chaos sound and the wolves howl at the tree-line, it is the grim god of winter to whom hard men raise their blades.
