| After years of civil war, the Iron Kingdom crumbled. During the Night of Treason, a great Malediction was placed upon the kingdom. The forests became dark and hostile. Wolves and creatures even worse stalked the land. Slowly the kingdom recovered, but it was not what it once was. The knightly order was all but destroyed, and the Master Smiths had disappeared. The secrets of blacksteel were forgotten. An order of Black Priests emerged in Ulm in the last days before the civil war. They formed an Iron Cult, consolidated their position, and forbade the use of magic. Magic outside religion was announced to be sacrilegious and the few surviving Master Smiths were put to the flames. Although magery is forbidden, there are some fortune tellers and members of the Order of the Illuminated Ones who secretly ply their trade in the arcane. | //After years of civil war, the Iron Kingdom crumbled.

| ===== General Overview ===== | ===== General Overview ===== |
| FIXME | This is the most-magical of the three [[Ulm|Ulms]]. It also has the least [[Magic]] depth, however, not counting the [[Communions]] you can create with ease. Its troops are also WORSE than they were in the previous Age, not counting a few holdouts who've either found God or entered a living Hell. |
| | |
| | The major draw of Late Ulm is the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati|Illuminati]], which provides Blood Hunters from basically anywhere and Communion Slaves in even greater numbers. Since any of your Mages can have [[Astral]] magic, they let Ulm punch far above its weight class in terms of Combat Magic, though not without cost. They start somewhat behind other Blood nations in depth, but they can pile up Patrollers for free with their Wolfherds, allowing them to better-balance their Blood and Gold economies than most in this Age; such balance is what makes [[ind-ma|MAGNIFICENT Ind]] of the previous Age so feared. |

| | Oh yeah, and there are also Vampires or something. |

| * Thaumaturgy 5 {{path>E3}}: **??Tempering the Will??**\\ Effectively a national version of the ??Antimagic?? spell against the usual MR-negates threats such as mind blasters or ??Charm??. Unlike MA Ulm, LA Ulm's magic access makes Thuamaturgy a useful school to research, meaning this spell will often be picked up at some point on the way to spells like ??Soul Slay??. However, {{path>E3}} is also much less accessible for LA Ulm and the generic alternative, ??Antimagic??, is much easier to cast. | * Thaumaturgy 5 {{path>E3}}: **??Tempering the Will??**\\ Effectively a national version of the ??Antimagic?? spell against the usual MR-negates threats such as mind blasters or ??Charm??.
