Karazengdor

Karazengdor is an exarch of Krivun and the ruler and originator of dracoliches..

Description

Karazengor takes the appearance of a massive gold dragon, mostly skeletal with stips of scale and skin hanging from his bones. While the bones and skeletal structure of Karazengor is unmistakeably that of a gold dragon, the scales are all as black as obsidian. His skull has been permanently twisted into a grin, and he has thousands of magical runes etched into his bones.
He is known for bestowing the secrets of dracolichdom upon his most fervent and loyal of followers, whether draconic or not, and allowing them to use it as they wish so long as they do not go against the whims of Krivun.

History

Early History

Karazengdor was once a mortal gold dragon that thought himself above all that surrounded him, particularly in terms of intellect and guile. Approaching the end of his mortal lifespan, the dragon began to fear its coming death, and sought out Krivun, thinking to trick the Demon Lord into a deal, believing himself smarter than the archfiend. Krivun turned the dragon into the first Dracolich, twisting his once beautiful hide into a dark black thing akin to Krivun's own and permanently binding the dragon to his service. The transformation into undeath had unforseen circumstances for Karazengdor, breaking his once pristine mind and drenching his soul in vile evil. The dragon did what it could to resist, and kept a mostly virtuous outlook and personality for many decades, but the evil crept across it like a rot, eventually twisting Karazengdor into a creature completely loyal to Krivun of its own will.

Rise to Divinity

Karazengdor, having fallen so completely in line with Krivun's views and will, became a servitor of the Demon Prince. There he was imbued with a shard of Krivun's own divinity and became known as the King of Dracoliches. There, he began creating hundreds of skeletons and experimenting with them, reshaping the bones and converting them into numerous materials after animating them, leading to a multitude of new skeletal undead roaming the lands.

Worshipers

Karazengdor has many followers, particularly Undead and especially dracoliches. He is known to venture to the Negative Energy Plane and seek out necromancers that were meddling there with the goal of converting them to his worship and spreading the plague of dracolichdom on the Prime Material Plane. Karazengdor's holy symbol is a skeletal dragon claw gripping a gold bar, and though many dracoliches see themselves as above others and thus do not worship divinities, those that do are known to pay homage to Karazengdor as their progenitor.
