Captain’s report: Victor T. Mayfair of the time ship Zephyros. We’ve just descended into a dark and mysterious crypt. Lurking in the shadows is something far more terrifying than any ghost. A Lich. Once a powerful sorcerer, now an undead master of dark magic. This creature isn’t here to haunt you. It’s here to control you. Lich are immortal. But they didn’t get that way by accident.
To achieve eternal life, a sorcerer would store their soul in an object called a phylactery. Destroy the phylactery and you destroy the Lich.
