The Children of Ulric is a short story spawned from the overall Children of Sigmar story but centering around the Province of Middenland. The Children of Ulric centers around the lives of six people who in the case of four of them are very powerful in Middenland, while the fifth appears to not be of any great influence at the beginning of his story, and the sixth is extremely important due to her titan influence but fights a different war then the rest of them.

Centered around the province of Middenland the story delves into one of the more discussed parts of The Empire in a way that the rumors and third party tellings of the other members of the Empire cannot match.

The Children of Ulric begins with Werner Anderssen the Baron of Fintel a large town located directly on the edge of the Great Forest, and then following his story it shifts to Heinrich Todbringer. Heinrich Todbringer is the oldest child of Boras Todbringer and he is contantly forced to prove himself as the situation in Middenland deteriotes due to his fathers growing war with the Trolloc of the Great Forest. Following Heinrich the story shifts to Erwin Frenbeck of whom is the King of the Kingdom of Chetti of which is an independant realm just west of Toppenheim, and east of Lorraine. Following this we move into Roland Dollburg of whom is the son and heir to the extremely wealthy House Dollburg and he spends his time attempting to spread the word of Ulric into the lands of southern Swedan. The second last POV Character is Ser Valten Ollenbrog of whom is a hedge knight of once powerful family and travels the roads of Middenland looking for work. While the final POV Character is Leonarda Eicke of whom is the child of the Chaos Titan Elric and fights for her aunt though she doesn't know any of this.

Chapter Details

Heinrich Todbringer is the POV Character of this chapter and during this chapter he is standing at the edge of the Great Forest alongside his father and listens as his father gives a speech to a large group of knights and soldiers as they prepare to enter the forest to relieve the village of Esterweld which was attacked by his fathers enemy in the form of the Trolloc Khazrak. Heinrich leaves his fathers side and joins the middle section of the army joining his cousins Eirik, and Kristoffer Nikse of whom command the Nikse forces that have joined his fathers army in the goal of relieving the village of Esterweld. Heinrich is joined also by Leonhard Fincke a Chapter Master in the Utogar Guard and his personal bodyguard, and Leonhard brings with him a half a dozen unknighted members of the Utogar Guard in the center of the formation. The army moves down the road four wide and with skirmishers moving into the forest to keep the army from being ambushed by the Trolloc, and there is a near complete silence as they march with Heinrich feeling a complete sense of dread as they march on the road. After marching for nearly the entire day they arrive at the village of Esterweld where they discover a horrifying sight as the entire village at first appears empty but as he enters the village now at the front of the force they discover a horrifying pit of bodies in the center of the village and after digesting the horror to a certain extent they make the realization that there are no women among the bodies. With no survivors Boris decides to leave Heinrich and the Nikse forces in command of the village and to begin its rebuilding while he takes the majority of the army and follow the trail into the forest and root out the Trolloc. Upset that he was left behind Heinrich never the less begins rebuilding the village which will be turned into a fort as they will be unable to get villagers to return since the entire village was massacred, and in this way they set up a large ditch around the village and over the course of several days cut down the surrounding forest giving a near acre of no forest around the village and use the trees to build a full wooden palisade and fill the ditch with spikes. While clearing out the forest Heinrich sends his cousin Eirik and a small force to several nearby villages in order to have them abandon the villages as well, as he attempts to follow his fathers order of clearing out the county of any human presence. After nearly two weeks in Esterweld and having now built two towers at the fort their forces are woken by the arrival of screaming men of whom flee from the direction that Boris had fled into the forest, and they tell Heinrich that Boris was ambushed in the forest and had been captured by the Trolloc. Heinrich sends several men on horses out of the fort in an attempt to get support from outside the county, and then orders a massive doubling of the efforts to fortify Esterweld greatly expanding the ditch, and clearing out more of the forest. While talking with Kristoffer they notice from the walls a small group of women moving towards the fort on the road, and going outside with a group of men they approach the group who as they get closer they realize is heavily armed. Meeting with the group he speaks with two vocal women named Ottilia of Eicke, and Wendelgard of Eicke and they two reveal that they are sworn to a powerful female Priestess named Leonarda Eicke of whom controls a small fort south of Esterweld and that if he travels to the fort then she has promised to help them. Desperate for assistance as he knows the Trolloc will be coming he agrees to this and leaves the fort with Ottilia who leaves behind the rest of her party as a hostage in case she should betray Heinrich. Riding the same horse as Ottilia she refuses to speak to him as they ride for hours south of Esterweld, and just as Heinrich is almost preparing to turn on Ottilia they arrive at a large mountain and riding up a narrow pathway he realizes it is too late as the pathway is guarded by many women all just as armed as the previous group. Arriving at the front of a large stone gate carved into the mountain side they stop for a minute before the door begins to creak open revealing a beautiful young women and dozens of more heavily armed women. The women steps forward revealing herself as Leonarda Eicke, and she begins telling him about all the things she knows about him, and impressed by what he believes are the powers Ulric has given to her he bows in front of her.
