Description Another illustration done for a RPG supplement book on undead creatures.
The lich in this world is, as usual, a powerful wizard who managed to prolong his life through magical means and undeath. He is mostly arrogant, hungers for power and knowledge and acts mostly from behind the scenes.

Great touch. I can see how he has been busy collecting tomes and books of forgotten knowledge.

Yes, he had a looooooooot of time to increase his collection

Be funny if he ran into my OC Kildelrin the star priest. In a D&D sense, he's a powerful cleric that specializes in life and death magics.

At first yes, then a battle will ensue as Kildelrin attempts to perform his order's duty, send the undead to the afterlife. Despite the lich having a, forgive spelling, palythicary, the boy can rip out his soul from the body and send it to the third god of the trinity, Theeria, goddess of wisdom and judgement.

ouch! that sounds like a lot of pain for the lich....if he can still feel that

Not as much pain as Theeria will give him once she's through.

Interesting choice in scarlet robing.Β

Well, I thought it would be a nice contrast to the cold environemnt of a crypt and it would also be symbolic for everything a lich really wants: eternal life. Blood is life, therfore a befitting colour for his regal robes

Scarlet is technically a bright red by literary weight.Β  Blood red, or cinnabar distinct from burgundy.

This is very nice indeed Really puts that midstep that others miss, that the necromancers don't die to become liches, they just wither as a consequence of being really old.
