THE DEMON LICH

Masters of the Undead don’t often meet with other world denizens such as Demons. Yet walkers have crossed the planes since the dawn of magic, and so began an ages old conflict between the plane of the dead and the 9 hells.

One such walker is said to be born a demon, but converted part of his soul in a ritual normally reserved for Liches to conceal their essence and forever tie themselves to unlife in the dead realm. Landathos was his demon name, but once born a Lich, he no longer had use of his former name. In the realm of the dead his lust for power became a source of concern for other Keepers and demi-Liches alike, and so it was said that the demon formerly known as Landathos was cast out onto the mortal plane.

It is unknown now whether the Demon Lich can be destroyed on the mortal plane, or in fact if his essence is tied to the realm of the dead or the original 6th hell from where he spawned. His quest for souls unwavering however, has lead to many a mortal expedition to rid their lands of his presence. And thus the story of Origins unfolds…
