Ashardalon
Ashardalon is a true dragon. Seemingly, he is larger and more ancient than any of the Dragon Gods. He sought the elemental engines in a plot to flood the Underdark with lava to serve as a massive power source. Such a power source might have been enough to fight back against the Many-Angled Ones as they encroached on the planes.
Repeatedly thwarted by the Exalted Ones, Ashardalon is clinging to life by supping on the pre-incarnated souls of the unborn in the Bastion of Unborn Souls.
The Red Hand of Doom, a cult of goblinoids and giants devoted to Ashardalon, sought to summon his avatar in an attempt to conquer the Elsir Vale.
Another cult of Ashardalon built the Sunken Citadel before it collapsed beneath the earth. This cult retreated to the Realm of Dread when Ashardalon was seemingly slain. They attempted to bring Ashardalon back to the material realm by imbuing his physical heart with their un-life, but were put down by the Exalted Ones.
Ashardalon has replaced his lost heart with a demon he plucked from the Abyss.
Sammie Witch is accompanied by a shard of Ashardalon's soul, in the form of her flaming cat familiar, Ash.
