Ulric is the mighty god of battle, wolves and winter. He is acknowledged across the Old World but the centre of his worship is Middenheim, the city of the White Wolf, in the north of the Empire. Ulric is a pragmatic god and his church is less overtly pious than that of Sigmar, rarely inclined to holy crusades and dogmatic preaching. However, Ulric is the patron of soldiers, and every initiate of Ulric is a warrior. The Cult of Ulric's political power, combined with the martial nature of its members, means that Ar-Ulric, the High Priest, can wield tremendous military might should he require it. At such times as the state is unable or unwilling to deal with an enemy, Ar-Ulric is able to use his religious influence to call on his followers and his political power to procure state troops, drawing together powerful armies to destroy the foes of the Empire in the name of Ulric.
