Revision as of 18:40, 17 January 2017

The Sigil of the Lich

A dead body given life again by dark powers. Often such a creature is someone of high rank and great power striving for eternal life through the use of dark forces to bind their consciousness to various phylactery and thereby achieve a form of immortality. Unlike zombies, which are often depicted as mindless, part of a hivemind or under the control of another, a lich retains independent thought and is as intelligent as it was prior to its transformation. Liches are always powerful magic users and are often created through various schools of magic such as necromancy, hexcraft, black magic, Vooo Doo ect.
