 * The Dragonforged totally took the bargain

This is another mystery - I think it's 75% /25%

For
 * He's lost a lot - ability to be seen, possessions, proper cloths etc - make me wonder if he was a king and "the thing he held most dear" was being king .. or could have been "worldly goods" or "human company"
 * His gain is "knowledge of the Dragon"

Against
 * His burnt arms - there's a lot of partial evidence he fought the Dragon, but couldn't finish the battle.

There's one possiblity for the backwards chronology re Savan-Dragonforged .. Civilizational Collapse (eg wikipedia:Late Bronze Age collapse )- what if there was a collapse in society after Dragonforged - plunging the high culture back into stone ages .. ?

This also fits with above theory of Dragonforged - what if he was most proud of the civilization he was king of.. then his bargain would include loss not only of his own power, but the destruction of the kingdom around him - all for knowledge .. (this probably makes him king of the city at Tainted Mountain)
