Hey, thanks for that! I recently got Malphas in an MP game. He comes into play as a warlock and the description doesn´t say anything about changing shapes.

Glad to help

There''s way too many interesting heroes in this game it's almost a shame they aren't easier to get.
But hey, makes getting them all the better.

The descriptions show that the civil war happened first and that the effects of the Malediction caused the hunger that created the ghouls and vampires, as well as other things:

Please no filling the gaps.

I like it that the malediction is mentioned but noone knows exactly what happened and how. Maybe even the people of Ulm don't?

Same for all other nations, some unsolved mystery only makes them more interesting imo.

I entirely agree with you, but look how Illwinter (spell, not game-developing company) still doesnt give us any insights into Rimtursar not what happents after their awakening?
In case of MA Ulm, it might be just the first harbinger of what's about to happen. Maybe it could cause small warbands to spawn in your dominion; sometimes they just join you, sometimes they fight each other, causing losses to population and unrest. Supplies drop dramatically, and severe famine can cause some unexplained mystical side-effects.

Some catastrophe was also mentioned in LA Man description.
Also, LA Arcoscephales mentions the great conqueror (clearly modelled after Alexander the Great) whose death Astrologers failed to predict. I'd like to see his incarnation in LA (maybe as an especially tough ghost King?).
