So great was Justinian's hatred for Daigon that it was not sufficient to slay him on the field of battle. The God King would not be satisfied until all memory of the Dark Lord was erased from Geryon. To this end, the Castigati, the Clerisy's elite demonslayers, have been charged with hunting down all those who served the Dark Lord down to the last demon minor. Centuries after the Fall of Daigon the demonslayers have nearly accomplished their charge and few of the Dark Lord's servants remain. Arkhagon, lieutenant of the Dark Lord, still survives in spite of numerous assaults by demonslayers and assassins. During Daigon's life, Arkhagon was among Daigon's greatest commanders, and after the death of his master Arkhagon gained even greater power. But unlike most of the surviving demons major, Arkhagon has no desire to rebuild the empire that was Nagash in its prime. Instead, Arkhagon devoted all of his efforts to rejoining his master and friend.

Immediately after the Fall of the Dark Lord, Arkhagon redirected his grief into efforts to find Daigon again. Such a powerful being as the Dark Lord, Arkhagon reasoned, was so powerful that death could not be the end. Arkhagon assembled a force of his own and laid claim to the great barrage at the edge of the Sea of Nagash, rechristening the citadel as Arkhagon Zul. His servants entered the very heart of the mighty dam and restored the hydromancy engines built by the Dark Lord's engineers. The momentum of the barrage's falling water was converted into arcane energy that Arkhagon used to travel into the Beyond. Arkhagon spent nearly a century in the void, canvassing a dozen underworlds and hells in search of Daigon's soul. After neglecting his citadel for so long, Arkhagon could no longer draw the energy needed open portals into the void, and his journeys into the Beyond amounted in nothing. The reality that he would never reunite with Daigon finally dawned upon Arkhagon, and grief utterly consumed him.

For a century or two, Arkhagon has languished in a depressive torpor, and the citadel of Arkhagon Zul has deteriorated around him. His host has long abandoned him, and in their absence looters have ransacked the once-mighty citadel. The intricate hydromantic engines have been torn apart - their exotic, enchanted metals melted down to make crude swords and the upper levels of the citadel are occupied now by orc warlords. But as Nagath awakens, so too does the lord of this derelict fortress. And that stimulus that finally rouses Arkhagon would come from the most unlikely of all sources.[/hider]
