The Chancellor also requested that Death kill the Soul Arbiter and bring him the crown in exchange for a specific name for the Angel Nathaniel, but Death refused to fulfill the bargain even after killing the Soul Arbiter and finding out that the crown had once belonged to Argul while also learning of its foul reputation for inciting greed.Īrgul is a powerful warrior, wielding a large legendary mace and a massive icy shield. Ostegoth later offered Death a great reward for journeying to Argul's tomb and destroying the source of his power in order to avoid him resurrecting Frostbane, of which he soon did. In the end he fulfilled his end of the bargain and destroyed the monster forever. Death eventually succeeded in hunting down Argul, facing him and his powerful weapon, the Scepter of the Deposed King, in comabt. He asked Death to finish what the Dead King started and put Argul down like the mad dog he was. While most believed that Argul had been destroyed, Thane suspected otherwise. It was widely believed that the new Dead King has killed Argul, but the truth was that he was entombed below the Dead Plains, with his original tomb, along with Frostbane, being cast out of the realm so that he could not draw power from it. Very few subjects remained loyal to him, such as Frostbane who continued to guard Argul's tomb for millennia, and the Soul Arbiter who kept watch over Argul's crown. Argul was also stated to be the past owner of The Crown of the Dead.Īrgul's rule came to a end with the betrayal of the Lord of Bones, his second in command. It has been stated that Argul indulged in many strange requests, such as having Frostbane infuse some of his power into a pair of scythes known as Lifebane, for one of his dead lords. His enemies referred to him as a "Mad beast in need of killing" or "Too mad to be kept on the throne". His servants included Frostbane, a Soul of the Abyss incarnated in the form of a dragon via Argul's will that existed for no other purpose than to serve him, and the Lord of Bones, who would one day turn on him.Īrgul was considered utterly insane by most of creation, constantly ranting of the Four Horsemen as a coming Darkness that would spread throughout creation, similar to Corruption. A creature called Argul, too mad to be kept upon the throne.Īrgul was ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead for countless eons, collecting rare artifacts and powerful Magics and hoarding them in his tomb.
Death: Your King is not the first to rule here - is he Chancellor?Ĭhancellor: There.
