The Grand Theogonist is the leader of the Cult of Sigmar. He is widely regarded Sigmar's representative on earth, and as a consequence holds great religious and political influence within The Empire. Together with his two Arch Lectors, the Grand Theogonist commands three votes on the Council of Electors. The current Grand Theogonist is Volkmar the Grim.
