Asgar Tellendar Asgar Tellendar was a human man and the chief priest of Ilmater of the House of the Suffering God in Asbravn in the late 1360s DR . Personality . Asgar was a devout follower of Ilmater , usually quite serene , and very wise . Activities . Asgar led a small clergy of only six priests , three novices , and four lay worshipers . The House of the Suffering God was a very poor and rundown temple , and the tithes were too few and too small to pay for repairs . Without enough local support , Asgar knew his temple was at risk of being shut down and further that the Zhentarim were infiltrating the town . For guidance , Asgar relied on dream - visions sent to him by Ilmater . However , the Zhents apparently discovered this and started to magically meddle with what he thought was sent to him by his god . These other visions showed Ilmater turning his back on the House of the Suffering God , but were always shortly followed by mysterious , silver - tongued visitors seeking to purchase the temple , so Asgar disbelieved them . The calm and serene Asgar was so angered and felt so defiled that from then on he ' d battle any Zhent agent who threatened him . Thus , when he saw no other solution to his problems , Asgar went to the Harpers of Berdusk , a town nearby , for help even though he saw them as dangerous meddlers . He asked them to keep Asbravn free of Zhentarim agents and keep his own clergy pure . His hatred of the Zhentarim made him ally with the Harpers , trusting his own secrets to them and healing or otherwise aiding any Harper in need who sought him out . Furthermore , Asgar began insisting that he and the Harpers be allowed to question new recruits to the Riders in Red Cloaks , the local militia .

In 883 DR , the Year of the Giant ’ s Oath , the Ascalhi Wulgreth fled to the ruins of Karse , along with his man - at - arms , Jhingleshod the Iron Axeman .

Unfortunately , he did this while Wulgreth was casting his spell , and the arcane energies the archwizard had been drawing from the area were released , transforming Wulgreth into a lich and the area surrounding Karse into a place of twisted magic and undead creatures known as the Dire Wood . To punish Jingleshod , Wulgreth hunted him down and turned him into an undead knight . Wulgreth then resided within the temple , in a different part of it than the Netherese Wulgreth was in , and made the Karsestone his phylactery . Galaeron Nihmedu destroyed the body of Wulgreth , but it lives on because its phylactery is the Karsestone , which is now in the hands of the goddess of darkness , Shar .
