![[SammasterPic.png]] # Sammaster _Human Wizard | [[Cult of the Dragon]] Founder | Deceased_ ## Summary Founded the [[Cult of the Dragon]] in 902 DR after mistranslating [[Maglas]]'s prophecy to read "dead dragons shall rule the world entire." Once [[Chosen of Mystra]] and as powerful as [[Elminster]], but the priest [[Algashon Nathaire]] manipulated him into madness. Created the first dracolich, wrote the _[[Tome of the Dragon]]_, and established the cult's cell structure led by the "[[Wearers of Purple]]." Killed in 1373 DR, but his decentralized organization survived long enough for [[Evendor Starbane]] to seize control. His obsession with dragon supremacy through undeath drives the cult's current mission against the [[Dracorage Mythal]].
