Category:Lich

Undead who were formerly necromancers themselves, lichs are created through a dark ceremony which involves the sacrifice of hundreds of the living and the ritual suicide of the one seeking to become a lich. Their lives are tied to vessels called phylacteries during the process, so the only ways to kill them are to destroy their phylactery or to slowly exhaust their power.

Lichs are unable to feel emotions, but are not inherently evil, although they usually are, given the process of becoming one. They have long lives, the length of which is relative to the amount of sacrifices during the ritual when they become a lich, and are unaffected by ordinary diseases. They have no need for sustenance, either.

Lichs have an aversion to sunlight, although it does not harm them, and are harmed by life energy and healed by death energy, like all undead.
