The Church of Sigmar

The Church of Sigmar 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. The church 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. Such was the popularity of this Cult that Johann became the first Grand Theogonist of the now state-official Cult of Sigmar. Ever since, 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.
As of today, the Cult of Sigmar has become an essential part in Imperial society. 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. 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. 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.
