St. Horst, who lived during in the century following the foundation of the Empire, was an early proponent of Sigmar's divinity. He walked the roads, preaching the words of the Heldenhammer and promoting the unity of the Empire. After many years of wandering, Horst came to Middenheim, the centre of the cult of Ulric, and proclaimed Sigmar's divinity. A riot ensued and Horst was slain. When the flesh had rotted away, the faithful of Ulric smashed his bones with their warhammers. It is said his remains were powdered so completely that only a single tooth survived. That tooth was recovered by one of Horst's followers, who encased it in a brass ring inscribed with a twin-tailed comet.
