Simple. It had been long enough since Savan became Seneschal for Gran Soren to be built atop the Everfall. At an unknown point after Savan the Dragonforged became Arisen, and sought out the Dragon. He failed, but the Dragon recognized his bravery and instead of killing him turned him into a guide for future Arisen. Around a century before the game takes place Edmund became Arisen and took the Dragon's deal, rendering himself ageless. Thus when our Arisen kills Grigori both the Dragonforged and Edmund get their hearts back. The Dragonforged was simply so old that when time caught up he collapsed into dust, while as Edmund was only around 80ish he simply aged rapidly.
