Ī Warrior Priest of Sigmar fighting a Chaos Warrior of Khorne. Almost every town and village in the Empire has at least one shrine dedicated to Sigmar and so Warrior Priests of the deity are a common sight wherever the writ of the emperor's law extends. Beneath these ecclesiastical officials, all three of whom serve as full Electors of the Empire, are the Warrior Priests. The High Priest of the Cult of Sigmar is known as the Grand Theogonist, and he is served by two Arch Lectors. This remains true in every province of the Empire, even in those places where Ulric, Taal, and the other gods of the Old World Pantheon are more actively worshipped than the Heldenhammer. But where the older gods are seen to care little for the plight of Men, Sigmar is the patron of the Empire and its people, the reason why the men and women of the Empire often refer to themselves as "Sigmar's People" and venerate the sigil of the Twin-Tailed Comet. Throughout the Empire it is considered only right and proper to honour all the gods and even those priests who serve only one deity will still show respect to other gods in appropriate situations or when their portfolio is predominant. It is thanks to these tireless warriors that a rousing speech by a Warrior Priest of Sigmar has restored the troops' faith, brought hope to a seemingly lost cause, or prevented a mutiny when the words of even the most respected commanders had fallen on frightened and angry ears. The Cult of Sigmar demands that its followers fight all forms of evil in the mortal world with the strength of their arms as well as their faith and many of its priests accompany the Empire's armies when they march off to war, following and honouring that creed. Sigmar is a warrior god, and to pursue his creed is to live a life dedicated to battle for the good of all Mankind.
