“All may hate me, but none may deny me.”
The Lich King is the lord of the undead, a fallen tyrant who intends to conquer The Dragon Empire and restore his ancient kingdom. He’s not entirely insane and sometimes understands that ruling a kingdom is not the same as destroying it.
Common Knowledge
During the day, The Dragon Empire is a land of light and song. But at night, it is easy to look out one’s window at the moon-touched land and see that it very nearly still belongs to the Lich King.
Ages ago, the Lich King was the Wizard King, and he ruled all the lands with magic and tyranny. The Talaved Man'Draq't'oran, The Emperor, Elvenkind, and the Dwarven Kingdom joined forces to defeat him.
Ages later, however, the Wizard King returned as the undying Lich King. The Lich King commands all undead, to some extent. His power grows when sacrifices to the dead are not maintained and graveyards are desecrated, but even when all rites are properly observed he schemes, betrays, and attacks.
“By the fist of the lich” is a common macho curse. The magic hand the Lich King wears to replace his missing hand is a fearsome artifact in its own right. Those who would rather not call the Lich King by name refer to him as the One-Eyed Lord.
Enemies
The Preistess, Gruumsh, The Orc Lord, The Elf Queen, The Dwarven King, The Three, Great Golden Wyrm, The Diabolist, The Archmage, The Crusader, The High Druid, The Prince of Shadows.
History
There has only ever been one Lich King, the former Wizard King of an earlier age.
The True Danger
As long as the graveyards are maintained and the imperial rituals repeated, the Lich King will never retake his throne.
