When the Augurs' Towers collapsed in the year 1218, Dengwur left the camp of his grandfather, the Khan of the Therks and traveled to the provincial capital of Noviodunum. Here he established himself as a useful adventurer in the service of Julius Wulfgar (a Northron soldier in Ardean service). He slew a dragon, harried the Fosa-Gaut raiders, and made several forays against the Old Ones beneath "Deadman's Town", culminating in the defeat of Horrible Cyrus, an Old Ones leader. All this time, Dengwur was merely biding his time. Finally, when Julius Wulfgar was in the process of mustering a large army at Noviodunum in order to set himself up as an independent king, Dengwur moved against him. First he infected the army muster with a deadly disease and turned its various components against each other, by the use of demons of plague and hatred. Then he summoned fierce demons of war and disease against the city of Noviodunum itself, devastating it utterly. He used an artifact (a gorgon mask) seized from Horrible Cyrus to turn Wulfgar to stone. | When the Augurs' Towers collapsed in the year 1218, Dengwur left the camp of his grandfather, the Khan of the Therks and traveled to the provincial capital of Noviodunum, accompanied by his bodyguard [[parsnak_i|Parsnak]].
