Correct, Edmund sacrificed his love, lenore to become duke. The dragon forged stands as the oldest arisen of this cycle who knew he wasn't strong enough to slay grigori and elected to await the arisen who could. many arisen have stood against grigori and failed, and others have traded peace for glory. Those who fight grigori and succeed though, are called into the everfall by the seneschal. When arisen fall, their bodies become dragonkin, and when one faces the senschal and falls, they become an avatar for grigori.

When the seneschal feels they must be succeeded, they send grigori into the world to seek a human with the strength of will to proove them worthy of becoming arisen. over many centuries, the cycle continues, with arisen who make the deal gaining fame and power, and those who slay the dragon called beyond the rift to prove their will and eventually replace the seneschal.
