# Sammaster
_Human Wizard | [[Cult of the Dragon]] | 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 a [[Chosen of Mystra]] as powerful as [[Elminster]], he created the first dracolich, wrote the _[[Tome of the Dragon]]_, and built the cult's cell structure led by the "[[Wearers of Purple]]." Killed in 1373 DR, but his decentralized organization survived and was later seized by [[Evendor Starbane]].
