History

In -4 IC Sigmar travelled alone to their capital to try to have the tribe join his Empire. Siggurd received him and listened to his proposal that the Brigundians join his growing alliance of tribes, but asked that Sigmar first kill the Dragon Ogre Skaranorak to gain not only his tribe but also the Menogoths and the Merogens. [1b] Sigmar did just that and the three tribes joined his empire. [1c]

The City was besieged by the army of Nagash and fell after only a few days with Siggurd himself being transformed into a vampire by Khaled al-Muntasir. Only twelve escaped the fall of the city out of a population of around 8000. [2a]
