The Ulrung Lodge is a Fyreslayer Lodge located in the Realm of Shyish, beneath the highest peaks of the Greyspears, a volcanic range of mountains in Athanasia. [1]
They prided themselves that over all their history, many foes had battered upon the Ulfort's gates, but always to no avail - no uninvited guest had ever stepped foot within the hold. [1]
History
Age of Myth
The Lodge had begun late in the Age of Myth, the slayers having followed a trail of ur-gold into the Realm of Shyish. [1]
Ulrung took part in the Ghoul Wars and weathered the decade long Wailing Storm, standing against the Vampire alliance. Over the ages they expanded their underhalls, filling the Grand Vault with ur-gold. [1]
Age of Sigmar
In the Time of Tribulations the Great Gungron, the immense furnace at the heart of the Temple of Fire went cold, depriving the holds defensive runes of power. Then the furnace began to burn with necromantic energy.[1] The Ulrung were then forced to fight their way out of the Ulfort, their magmahold, and fled across the underworlds of Shyish.[2b]
They have become a grim people, even by the standards of Fyreslayers, as they wander across Shyish.[1a]
Culture
They mark their beards, faces, and fists with the ashes of the dead.[2a]
