The Dragonforged, like Duke Edmund, made a pact with the Dragon instead of killing it. Edmund made a deal  to remain youthful and strong. When the Arisen (you) kill the dragon, (which Edmund thought could not be done), the deal he made with the Dragon died with it. (why he became really old all of the sudden cus the magic wore off.)

With the Dragonforged, he made a pact with the Dragon to give him knowlegde of the Dragon's return and the Arisen's cycle (AKA The Eternal Return Prophecy). The Dragon's soul, undefeated by an Arisen, was unleashed in the form of the Ur Dragon which laid waste to his civilisation surounding the Tainted Mountain. The Dragonforged is probably the oldest Arisen alive as the Tainted Mountain was already abandoned and in ruin by the time Savan came to defeat the Dragon.
