Editing Scrollhammer: Order of the Black Worm (section)

====Lich====

Unbound by the needs and the weaknesses of flesh, Liches were once great necromancers who sought to gain immortality by turning themselves undead through using spells and rituals. The intricacies of such a transformation are both complex and esoteric, and one must be a maverick arcanist in order even understand such a process, let alone properly execute it. The most common fate of those who seek lichdom is to waste years on fruitless research before simply giving up out of sheer frustration. For necromancers less cautious in their experimentation, death is not uncommon. There are some, however, who do not fail in achieving what the seek, who have the intellect and determination necessary to solve the Riddle of Life and Death. Those necromancers who succeed in their quest to transcend mortality become Liches, the Eternal Archimandrites of the Order of the Black Worm. All Liches are powerful spellcasters, and can resists various attacks. Liches are notoriously difficult to destroy, due to both the protective enchantments they carry and the unspeakable soul-binding magicks that anchor them to the mortal world. It is rumoured that the most powerful and ancient of Liches can not be stopped even by death, that their spirit persists after the destruction of their body so that they might return to wreak havoc in a new form.
