Backstory

Cataclysm

Caelrogh is the main antagonist of the Cataclysm Arc. He and his hordes sweep across the eastern continent of the Alliance territory laying waste to everything in their path.

The Attack on the Citadel

By striking a deal with Vecna, Caelrogh had obtained rights to the mark on Clymene’s hand. A hand once cursed by Vecna was the catalyst that Caelrogh’s cultists needed to create a breach between the Shadowfell and Material Plane. What followed was a massive explosion that tore a hole in the sky and rained fire down on the Citadel. Caelrogh’s horde spewed forward and began attacking the Alliance forces stationed there. Helpless to stop them, Croak and Dagger amongst others made a tactical retreat to Halfaya Pass. During the retreat, Caelrogh, riding his gargantuan Shadow Dragon, incinerated Barbatos and crushed the husk beneath his dragon’s feet.

The Defense of Halfaya Pass

Caelrogh’s forces overwhelmed the defending Alliance forces at Halfaya Pass. During the retreat, Caelrogh made an appearance and surrounded Edgar Castille and the last of his men. Just when Caelrogh prepared to finish Edgar off, Omerók came leaping through the portal and swiftly used the Staff of the Woodlands to escape with Edgar. This would be the first time any member of Croak and Dagger would encounter Caelrogh. But certainly not the last...
