Demilich Despite the name , a demilich was not a lesser lich , but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body . Personality .

By 1479 DR , due to the Spellplague , the Shaar had become a vast desert wasteland known as the Shaar Desolation . In the center of the Shaar Desolation lay an enormous area called the Underchasm where huge swathes of land around the Great Rift collapsed into the Underdark . Bordering the Underchasm to the east was a region called the East Rift . Location . Its western end touched the very eastern tip of the Shining Sea , and its eastern end butted up against Veldorn , the Land of the Monsters . It was bisected by two significant geographical features , a cliff face called the Landrise and the Great Rift , a gouge in the earth 200 miles long and half that wide . The area west of the Landrise was generally called the Shaar , and area east to it the Eastern Shaar . Borders . The northern side of the Shaar was bordered by the Firesteap Mountains , a portion of the Chondalwood , the Uthangol Mountains and the southern border of Mulhorand . The southern border of the Shaar was made up from the adjoining Channath Vale ( a series of woods and mountains along the river Channath ) , the Forest of Amtar and the Toadsquat Mountains . Geography . The otherwise featureless plains of the Shaar were dotted with isolated forests and a small collection of hills . Several shallow rivers and streams crossed the Shaar , but these waterways tended to become sandy - bottomed gullies during the dry season . The Shaar received scant rainfall , so little other than coarse grass , cacti , and thorny bushes grew on the plains . During daytime it was blistering hot , while at nights it grew uncomfortably cold . Both geographically and meteorologically , the Shaar was a land of extremes . Inhabitants . Nomadic human tribes roamed the Shaar since recorded history began , but little in the way of civilization existed there . From time to time , other powers assumed authority over certain regions of this grassland , and even built settlements to manage trade , but only the crumbling remnants of their efforts remain . Aside from humans , wemic s , centaur s , thri - kreen and loxo also roamed the Shaar , hunting the great herd animals and constantly squabbling over water rights .

A typical specimen had a base value of 500 gp . Topaz stones were considered sacred by followers of Deneir , Horus - Re , and Gaerdal Ironhand — appropriate for sacrifice , or to be consecrated for use , or recognized as boons or omens when found . The blue variety of topaz was sacred to followers of Eldath . Powers . Topaz was often used to create items that conferred protection from magical effects because this stone protected the item itself from trauma due to force , acid , fire , petrification , and disintegration . It was the preferred component when making a gem of brightness because topaz took on the hardness of mithral when so enchanted . Topaz gems naturally stored healing magic . By casting a healing spell on this gemstone , the topaz could be placed into an open wound where it would release its stored magic and dissipate completely , or it could be powdered and mixed with milk or wine in a mithral vessel ( any other substance leeched the magic out of the mixture before it could be consumed ) . A topaz healing draught tasted cold and sour . Topaz was sometimes called the " jewel of light " because it could extend the duration of " faerie fire " spells cast upon it for a few days to nearly a month . This versatile gem was also used in the explosive druid spell " Sol ' s searing orb " .
