Lord Dagoth Levain Von’Saldor is a low-ranking noble who founded the Morenar and leads it to this day.¹

Master and recruiter

Marcus Gaius is a powerful apprentice of Lord Dagoth. Dagoth, a man of considerable power and of an ideal, approached Marcus soon after his faith was broken; under Dagoth's tutelage Marcus learned of many powers and found in the Morenar the unity and brotherhood he had been seeking.²

When Blaze was guided to the Morenar by his patron, Dagoth and his students were already expecting him.³

Joseph Kalkerian, at the lowest point of his life, used his father's contacts to arrange a meeting with Lord Dagoth in the Bluelands. Dagoth recognised his intelligence and abilities, and saw in him not a hapless miscalculator but a strategic genius bound to become a major asset to the Morenar.⁴

Spoiler: Dagoth's grand planSpoils: Mercenary Compendium; Book of Dead · Say what you have read

The Morenar was formed by a cleric of hell, though it does not work strictly for the Nine Hells. In Dagoth's grand plan, its memberships are to give the organisation's high-ranking members a way out of hell and a means of continuing their existence in the material world even after death.¹

A note signed by Lord Dagoth Salvador, there named as the founder of the Morenar, accompanies the account of the Tomb of Anarchy, a rite for binding demon princes. In it he writes that finding the rite and learning to perform it cost him many souls, that it was worth every soul coin he had, and that he delights in hearing a demon prince beg for freedom.⁵

Lord Dagoth chose the dark elf Neanoth Jeal’tlous to escort Lady Morr’vain to Vansreik, judging that his presence there would check Marcus's fanaticism and Blaze's recklessness. Disguised as elves, the two stay in the city as Dagoth's guests at the Ruby Inn, and knowing of Neanoth's connection with Dagoth, Marcus and Blaze refrain from using the Morenar's power for personal gain.⁶
