Liches - Human magicians that transformed themselves into the necromantic liches.
About 20 years prior to the Marked Ones events, Emperor Andreas commissioned a group of mages from The Guild to conduct experiments on ancient Korrivar tablets. Andreas, in his lust for more power, wished to master the dark arts of necromancy just as the elves had in ages past. Unbeknownst to the researchers, the dark elves had entrapped demon souls in the tablets so that any who tried to unlock their terrible power would be cursed. The demons trapped within saw a chance to free themselves from the prison and use these wizards as pawns to see their dark master’s will be done. They slowly fed upon the minds of the wizards, and little by little, they became theirs. The demons finally had the leverage to escape. They pulled themselves out and attached themselves to the souls of the mages. The magicians were transformed into the soulless liches, masters of necromancy, but not retaining their humanity. They began slaughtering people in Rom and reanimating them as undead soldiers for their army. Andreas’ spellblades were able to fend them off but Rom had been nearly destroyed by the end of the fight. The liches fled to the arctic reaches of the continent where they raised their kingdom of Drak Gul. Now they gather the corpses of fallen warriors to bolster their ever growing army of the undead.
