Ulgaen

From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Ulgaen Lodge is a Fyreslayer Lodge originally located beneath the volcanoes of the Hornteeth Mountains in the Realm of Ghur. After that hold fell they took the volcano of Steelspike in the Realm of Aqshy from the Skaven to form a new hold.[1]

History

For more than five thousand years the Ulgaen Lodge inhabited the Hornteeth mountains, but then their Ur-Lodge under Gaenagrik was destroyed and the main hold, Ulgaen-ar was reduced to that under the Ulmount.[1]

Subsequently, near the end of the Age of Chaos they were besieged for one hundred and one years by the Keeper of Secrets Qular Vo the Unredeemed, but as the prophecies of Hulgar had foretold the hold was betrayed by one of its own and fell to the Slaaneshi hordes.[1]

Travelling through the Gaenagrik Realmgate, the twelve hundred survivors were led by Runefather Ulgathern-Grimnar and his brother to Aqshy. They arrived on the Broken Plains and fought their way through swamps infested by beastmen and hence into the Firespike Mountains to their ancestor lodge of Volturung where they received a lukewarm reception. They were given leave to retake the nearby Steelspike for themselves, Volturung promising to take in their non-combatants in bondage until they paid back their debts. [1]

Marag-Or and Drokki awoke the mountain whilst the warriors assaulted the Skaven and the tunnels were cleansed with lava. Shortly afterwards they were contacted by Seldor, Knight-Azyros of the Hammers of Sigmar who informed them that the Gates of the Realm of Azyr were open once again and Sigmar sought allies. [1]

The Ulgaen survivors divided into two lodges, Ulgaen-dumar and Ulgaen-Kumar.[1]

The war of a hundred and one years will come to an end, as lightning cleaves the sky, salvation comes late for those that see no sense, greed overcomes virtue and the lodge-line shall be broken
