'''Liches''' are arguably the most powerful echelon of [[undead]]. They are mortals who have used unholy, often [[Necromancy|necromantic]] spells and rituals to prolong their lives beyond their natural spans. They retain their sentience, but their bodies continue to decay. Whether undead status is intended or an unexpected side effect of perceived life-prolonging processes, the aims in each case are the power and wisdom that come with countless years of unlife. | '''Liches''' are arguably the most powerful echelon of [[undead]].

[[Category: | Notable liches include: [[Melkhiour]], the [[:Category:Forests|forest]] lich; [[Anton]], the astronomer; and [[Teneb Trismegistus]], Doctor of Theoretical [[:Category:Planes|Planar]] Physics. Those of the [[Magisterion]] are lich-like, but are not true liches. | ||
