Middenheim is a fictional city in the province of Middenland in the land called The Empire in the Warhammer Fantasy setting. Commonly known as The City of the White Wolf, is second only in size and influence to the Empire's capital Altdorf. The city stands upon a sheer pinnacle of rock, five hundred feet high, and is reachable only by four highways that run along colossal viaducts. Middenheim may seem invulnerable, but the rock it stands upon is riddled with ancient tunnels, Dwarven and otherwise, that are home to things best not thought about too closely. == Religion and Founding == Unlike most of the Empire in Middenheim the worship of Ulric overshadows that of Sigmar; Ar-Ulric the high priest is an Imperial Elector and wields tremendous temporal as well as spiritual power. Ulric’s insistence upon hand-to-hand combat, and his hatred of gunpowder weapons, is a strong influence on the city’s armies. The rock the city stands upon, called the Ulricsberg or the Faustschlag ("fist strike"), is said to have been stuck by the hand of Ulric, leaving a flat top a mile across. On this site the god intended a great city to be built; with a temple where his holy fires would forever burn and that his followers would revere above all other places. It was Artur, chief of the Teutogen tribe, who discovered the rock and founded the city. Roughly a century later the High Priest of Ulric received a vision from his god that inspired him to found a temple upon the Ulricsberg. Ulric’s temple is a vast castle, dominating the city. The holy fire that burns before the great altar is said to do no harm to those who are pure – something that was proven true by Magnus the Pious when Ar-Ulric Kriestov accused him of heresy, and the saviour of The Empire stepped into the flames and emerged untouched. The Knights of the White Wolf, templars of Ulric, are based in the city and utterly dedicated to its defence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Middenheim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
