Naergoth Bladelord

==Summary==
Naergoth Bladelord was, once, one of the reigning leaders of the Cult of the Dragon, and became the co-ruler of the Well of Dragons alongside the magus Vargo Kent. The two built and were tasked with the defense of the Cult's original citadel. However, as time wore on, the two grew old, and took their paths into undeath- Vargo became a lich, and Naergoth, a Death Knight. In this state, they continued to rule for nearly a century until the Reformed Cult appeared.
With the Reformed Cult, new ideologies sprung forward, and the cult's goals were re-arranged. In the new order, Naergoth was the chief warlord of the Cult and served its leadership, Severin Silrajin, begrudgingly but loyally. He was still among the leadership until his destruction at the end of the Tyranny of Dragons.
Of his exploits, the most notable was the hunt for Shandril Shessair in the novel Spellfire, though this is only one of his many adventures alongside VargoSpellfire.
