====The Vile Curse==== Even at the height of his primacy, Bartholomew Blackdagger avoided taking foolish risks. For ten years, his pirates raided the Sword Coast and beyond, but through shrewd decision-making, Blackdagger avoided provoking those with the power to oppose him. What would drive such a man to make the fateful decision as Blackdagger made, none can say. Returning from a successful voyage, he and his men spotted a black dragon flying nearby, and Blackdagger ordered it to be captured and brought back to their skyhold. This dragon, however, was a wyrm of great age and power named Garrundar the Vile. It soundly defeated Blackdagger, killing his entire crew, and he fled back to his skyhold with Garrundar in pursuit. Fearing the dragon's wrath, he ordered many of his men to shut themselves inside the forts. Garrundar, however, would not let one who had attacked him escape so easily. He patrolled outside the forts day and night, ensuring that the pirates could not escape, and at the same time weaved a powerful curse through ritual magic. The curse bound Blackdagger's body and soul to the floating earth mote upon which his skyhold was built, trapping him forever in Undeath. Unable to leave their forts, the pirates' stores of food and water were soon depleted. Refusing to see his reign ended in such a way, Blackdagger willfully spread the curse to his men, ensuring that they would be able to help him in his schemes for revenge.
