Can Warrior Priests marry?

[ScarletBlade]

I haven't found anything in the lore that says yea or nay. What do you guys think?

[Thoden Firehammer]

I really have no idea, but my best guess tells me no.

[Yvo]

They're married to sigmar!

[BowieHero]

Hey, I like Sigmar "as a friend"!

[Grimfell Gromgear]

Warrior priests no...
Warrior Deacons and Warrior Pastors maybe.

[Gnashfang]

Would this be lore or game? Because I have no idea about marriage in the game but lore wise... They aren't married to Sigmar! Only dating... And Sigmar might be pissed if he caught his lover cheating.

Sigmar and Warrior Priests are just friends...with privelages.

[Vikingkingq]

No. In Sigmar's Heirs, this is explained. Essentially, they initially could marry, but as the Cult of Sigmar gained power, there began to be a problem whereby too many ambitious young men joining the priesthood to gain political power. Since they could marry, it was essentially just another career. The priesthood began to become wholly corrupt and licentious, and after...I think a Slaanesh cult was discovered, but don't quote me on that...riots prompted a reformer into the Grand Theogonacy, who devised celibacy as a reform measure to weed out the worldly from the devout.

[Atavistic]

and as is proven by the percentage of the faithful population who arent warrior priests, the possibility of gettin some lovin generally has more allure than the possibility of not :)

Don't you mean friends.....with benefits?:D

Vikingkingq is masterfully correct, warrior priests dont marry for precisely that reason, being their attempt to grow themselves as closely as is humanly possible to sigmar, and distance themselves from the ruinous powers in every sense (thus the reason WH and WP both dont seem to trust Wizards) well explained.

[Volcano Mentality]

I really hope we can get married. After all, back in the old days (medieval times and such) there were village PRIESTS who had to be married in order to attain that station. And the physical relations aren't all there is to marriage (any married couple would tell you it fades pretty quick) so the whole corruption thing seems a bit off to me. But then again, I've little knowledge of the lore. But in the end, my hopes still stand.

After all, I love and praise Sigmar, but I want some female lovin' as well. ;)

See now, this is why worshipping Ulric is so much more fun. He'd never accept a follower who was too sissy to go wenching after a battle.

Actually, the Wolf Priests are celibate as well. Part of a deal they struck with the Graf of Middenheim, who feared that if they could marry, their heirs would grow too powerful and threaten his own position.

Oh. Screw that then, I'm worshipping Slaanesh. Blame society!

[John_Skellan]

No Verena worshippers? Damn...
