Wulfric Draughsson
Wulfric Draughsson,
Blood Brother of the Ostlanders
“The gods don’t care for prayers. They want blood, bone, and broken things.”
Backstory
Born beneath the shadow of the Hrafnstein, a jagged monolith said to have drunk the blood of giants, Wulfric Draughsson was the first child of a cursed winter. The omens were grim — crows circling at night, stillborn calves, and a pale moon that would not wane. His father, a boar-tamer, tried to cast him into the river, but Wulfric clung to life like a thorn in flesh.
As he grew, so did his rage.
He was named Blood Brother of the Ostlander warband after surviving a gore-rite—a brutal trial in which he slew three wild hounds with only a hammer and his bare hands. The title marks him as part of a sacred fighting kinship—an unbreakable bond sworn in blood and hardship among the fiercest warriors of the hills. Since that day, he has worn no helm and prays to no gods, for he believes his life was purchased in blood and belongs to no one but the land itself.
Among the Ostlanders, Wulfric is revered not for wisdom or leadership, but for his terrifying tenacity. He fights at the vanguard, his hammer smeared with Wyrdstone ash and ritual sigils, never retreating, never resting. In battle, he is often seen muttering in the old tongue, calling upon the forgotten spirits of cracked stones and drowned woods.
Some whisper that Wulfric can smell fear.
Others say he cannot be killed by any man who speaks his name aloud.
One thing is certain — when he enters the square of Mordheim, someone will not leave it.
