Timeline of events relevant to Ebondeath

by Amarille Trisquinal

A timeline of events relevant to the hunt of Ebondeath gleaned from Harper records and research:
 
615 – Uthtower falls – a devastating battle between forces of humans, orcs, and demi-humans takes place at Uthtower and the dead are littered everywhere. Some remaining human soldiers begged the royal wizard to save them. Unfortunately, the royal wizard had become a lich. He flooded the area and thus created the Mere of Dead Men.
 
685 – The Uthtower is occupied by a black dragon - Chardansearavitriol (also known as Ebondeath) moves into the ruined Uthtower and rules the swamp for centuries
 
922 – Chardansearavitriol becomes a dracolich – under the influence of a priest of Myrkul named Strongor Bonebag, Chardansearavitriol becomes a dracolich. Bongbag becomes the head of a sect of the Dragon Cult who worships Chardansearavitriol at the ruins and mausoleum of Uthtower.
 
996 – Chardansearavitriol is killed - the dracolich enters the Necropolis Shard thanks to the efforts of a diverse team who created a Circle of 7 to trap it’s soul between it’s dead body and it’s phylactery.
 
1002 – The Eye of Myrkul – A celestial event occurs when the new moon of Selune enters a constellation known as the Circle of Mystra. During this event, the remains of Chardansearavitriol crumble to dust. Cultists take it as a sign that Chardansearavitriol is ascending to godhood and they flock to Uthtower.
 
1358 – Myrkul dies – the cult of Chardansearavitriol collapses during the time when the leadership of the Cult of the Dragon moves their focus to the worship and reemergence of Tiamat. The location of the urn with Chardansearavitriol’s remains is lost.
 
1450 – Myrkul returns – the cult of Chardansearavitriol is reborn under Ularan Mortus. It is believed that they have found the urn with the remains of Chardansearavitriol in it. Ularan Mortus is now seeking a new body for Chardansearavitriol.
 
1492 – Chardansearavitriol’s soul is freed – the dracolich, perhaps with the aid of cultists, tricks a group of adventurers into releasing his soul from the Necropolis Shard.
