Editing Ulric (section)

==The End Times==
Ulric is fighting the chaos gods during the end times, holding them back so that [[Archaon]] and his chaos forces can't take Middenheim. Unfortunately, [[Teclis]] being the typical [[Eldrad|selfish-elf-dick-archetype]] stole his flame to power up/revive his bro and thus killed Ulric (because risking Chaos winning is totally worth giving your brother a little longer to live and, by the way, risking Chaos getting said brother's soul if Chaos wins). With Ulric's absence and Boris Todbringer murdered by a bunch of stupid [[Beastmen]], whom Boris decided to take some quick vengeance on, Middenheim finally fell. Although Ulric was able to buff the new supreme patriarch Gregor Martak with the power to kill Malagor the Dark Omen, he still gets slammed and then uses his remaining power to possess a knight named Wendel Volker.

Ulric knew Teclis was the one that stole his flame and confronts him later on with Wendel's body and the Emperor on his side, which Teclis responded 
to by saying [[Eldrad|he would steal his flame even a thousand times if he were able to travel back in time because the age of the gods is over and it is time for the incarnate of winds to take charge.]] Well fuck you Teclis, you pointy-eared piece of shit, you are no better an elf than [[Malekith]] or your brother. It can be inferred Teclis believed Chaos would be beaten back by said incarnates instead of relying on the, y'know, ''guarantee'' that the gods actually holding back Chaos would...hold back Chaos. He just wanted an excuse to resurrect his brother and use wishful thinking (spoiler: he was wrong). To say nothing of the fact he believed the incarnates would hold back Chaos after he just witnessed a city fall specifically because of his reliance on incarnates.

Like all elves outside of Tolkien, the fucktard thought he could have his cake (his brother) and eat it (stop Chaos from full victory). And like all elves, he didn’t care how many people died or worse because of it even if he had succeeded (he failed miserably). Even though a lot of those were his own people.

Then again, if the gods couldn’t protect themselves from a mortal...

Interestingly, it was discovered by Archaon that the flame of Ulric was housed on top of a device of the Old Ones, and just like every Old One artifact, it is warp-related machinery that has the power to create a chaos rift if properly tended. This might have raised some interesting question about Ulric's origin.

Even so, the weakening of Ulric with the loss of his flame makes no sense by Warhammer’s own Warp. That people spent like, forever believing him to be a god and so on, the fires should be irrelevant to his power no matter what their original purpose was. Acting as an Ulric-controlled Warp rift to more easily strengthen and and shield his faithful would make sense, but instead Games Workshop ignored how gods and the Warp have always worked. But only for Ulric and only in the End Times.

Another notable feature about Ulric is that when he possessed people like Gregor Martak and Wendel Volker, it made their hair turn white and their eyes become the color of amber, like wolves. Both of them also gained the ability to cast ice related magic, having omnipresence to their surroundings as well as lower the surrounding temperature like a true wolf-god of winter. Also, he technically isn't really dead, otherwise he couldn't possess anyone. His body is kaput but he's a god, he can fix that or make a new one and since the gods exist in the Warp which is only as real as you believe...exactly. Teclis isn't quite smart enough to realize he pissed off the strongest gods in the setting. Or that humans might decide that killing off his species in retribution sounds fair.

[[Age of Sigmar|Or, at least, that could have been the case if the Old World didn't suddenly get eaten by a Chaos rift, sealing the fate of everything save Sigmar and Archaon]].
