This is why the people of the Empire refer to themselves as Sigmar's Folk or the Sons of Sigmar - and why the Emperor is referred to as the Heir of Sigmar regardless of his or her ancestry or religious beliefs. With his ascension to godhood, he became a legendary forbear worshipped by the folk of the Empire as a stern, vengeful warrior god whose covenant with his people is to defend them as long as the principles upon which his Empire was founded upon continue to stand. He was the founder of the Empire and its first ruler. Sigmar is the Empire, and the Empire is Sigmar. Take away that doubt, take away that struggle, and we’d be no better than the raving fallen who gibber at the sight of visions and cheap magick." - Adso Theiss, tutoring Luthor Huss of the true meaning of Faith. We must fight through our doubt to see the truth, just as a man must fight to crest the summit of a mountain. Our faith is no snare, nor can a man be coerced into a life of holiness. We’re not tricked into the love of Sigmar.

Overview " The Ruinous Powers care nothing for why a mortal might fall into their worship – they will trick, coerce and snare whoever they can, for each fallen soul makes them a little stronger. And should those of the faithful die, he shall be ascended into the halls of Sigmar's realm, where he shall fight alongside him in the eternal struggle of safeguarding humanity against the ever-growing threat of the Forces of Chaos. Alongside Ulric, Sigmar watches over the Men of the Reik when they ride to war, and alongside Ulric does he bellow and roar for death and glory. Every day he grants hope to his people, and pride in their noble heritage that they might summon the strength to overcome their foes, and ultimately cleanse their blood, body and soul from the dark influence of Chaos. His greatest mercy unto them was to unite them under the indisputable belief that they could be something more.

Yet his true gifts to his people are those of healing and hope. This sense of righteousness, self-determination, and holy attention from a caring but demanding God has ensured that the citizenry of the Empire is a people of strong faith, will, and unconquerable spirit. Due to their fanatical devotion to their Warrior God, the Cult of Sigmar demands that its followers fight all forms of evil in the world with the strength of their arms as well as their faith, with many of its priests accompanying the Empire's armies when they march off to war, following and honouring that creed. Nearly every city, town or village within the Empire has dedicated a portion of their wealth and land to the creation and maintenance of a Sigmarite Church, from which an official Priest of the Cult will attend to the spiritual well-being of its citizenry, whether it be through holy words of prayer or through heroic actions and trials by combat. Ever since then, the Cult of Sigmar has steadily grown over the centuries until it has arguably become one of the most powerful religious force within the domains of the Empire, so strong that Sigmar has supplemented Lord Ulric as the Empire's new patron God of War.Īs of today, the Cult of Sigmar has become an essential part in Imperial society. Such was the popularity of this Cult that Johann became the first Grand Theogonist of the now state-official Cult of Sigmar. The Cult of Sigmar was founded by the wild-eyed friar Johann Helstrum in year of 73 IC, where he appeared before the masses to relate a vision that he experienced Sigmar kneeling before Ulric, who then placed the crown of godhood upon his brow and took his place amongst the Old World Pantheons. The Cult of Sigmar, sometimes known as the Church of Sigmar, Holy Temple of Sigmar, the Clergy of Sigmar or simply as the Sigmarite Cult, is a state-official religious organization that has dedicated their existence to administrating the worship and prayers of the Empire's patron god Sigmar Heldenhammer.
