Rhaugilath

Rhaugilath (pronounced: /ˈrɔːgɪlɑːθ/ RAW-gill-ath[4]), known as "the Ageless", was a Netherese human archlich. He was the former Lich-King of the enclave of Orbedal in ancient Netheril and later one of the servitor liches of Larloch the Shadow King of Warlock's Crypt, titled "the Shackled Scribe of Larloch".[3][5][2]

History

Rhaugilath was once the ruler of the enclave of Orbedal in High Netheril, and was known as the Lich-King of Orbedal.[3][1] In this position, he was an archrival to Larloch of the enclave of Jiksidur.[3]
In the Year of Sundered Webs, −339 DR, Netheril suffered Karsus's Folly, all magic failed, and Orbedal fell from the sky to crash-land on the Sword Coast, near the mouth of the Winding Water. Rhaugilath and his phylactery survived the impact, but he was buried and trapped by rubble in a small pocket.[3]
Many years later, Rhaugilath was discovered and freed from the rubble—by his archrival Larloch, who'd found and claimed Orbedal for his own. A vicious battle erupted between the two. Larloch was victorious and he bound Rhaugilath to serve him. He became the first of Larloch's lich servitors, as Orbedal became the infamous Warlock's Crypt.[3]
He was still there by 1374 DR.[3][5]

Activities

Rhaugilath dedicated himself to writing Netheril's complete history, compiled in his great work, Of the Fall of Netheril.[3][1] However, he considered the Netherese Diaspora after Netheril's fall to be an integral part of the history, as well as the expected restoration of Netheril, thought to be only beginning in 1374 DR. Thus his book was never likely to be finished, and it reached several volumes. Larloch reviewed each chapter when it was completed, and they were delivered to Candlekeep to be archived in the library there.[3]
Occasionally, Larloch allowed Rhaugilath to use either a dream or nightmare spell, at Larloch's choosing, to send a vision to some being Rhaugilath had scried upon. Rhaugilath used these visions to grant some small piece of Netherese lore to the targeted individual. Reportedly, those who received such visions heard Rhaugilath sigh and Larloch chuckle as the vision ended.[3]


Where Rhaugilath desires to see Netheril rise to prominence once more, to lead the people of the Realms into a new and enlightened age no matter the cost, Larloch’s goal is at once simpler and infinitely more complex: he desires to return Mystryl to her place as the goddess of magic. Roleplaying & Understanding Rhaugilath Rhaugilath, the Ageless. Former Sorcerer-King of Orbedal in ancient Netheril and reported to be nearly 2,000 years old (first reports begin around -450 DR). Rhaugilath always sought to provide the best possible life for those that lived in his floating citadel and imposed strict laws to keep order and peace established. Voluntarily underwent the process of becoming a lich to ensure that his people would receive fair and standard leadership for as long as he would exist – but alas, Karsus’ Folly would soon see the entire Netherese Empire come crashing (literally) to the ground. Rhaugilath would spend over a thousand years trapped in the wreckage, not hurt enough to discorporate back to his phylactery and not strong enough to use magic to make good his escape from the mess. Larloch uncovered him in approximately 1050 DR and after a climactic magical battle Rhaugilath was bent to the will of the elder lich. He maintains his gifts as a dreamwalker and extraordinarily powerful transmuter, reportedly working at Larloch’s behest (though sometimes of his own free will) to send messages and visions of the ancient Empire to various individuals around the world via dreams, and has been developing new ways to turn demons and devils into building supplies (as the liches view these creatures as a never-ending supply). Rhaugilath strives to break Larloch’s control but is bound by magic to take no direct action that would contradict Larloch’s efforts.
