Gurn Coldhearth

Gurn Coldhearth is a dwarf priest of Dumathoin, the dwarven god of mining and buried secrets i.a., who has turned his back on his former faith, following the dwarven god of greed Abbathor instead, and betrayed his former comrades-in-arms to pursue immortality by becoming a lich.
Some time before his transformation, he penned the Journal of Gurn Coldhearth, where it's described one of the Shadow King's liches (Korkorran bd1200.ARE (Lich Outpost)) offered Coldhearth lichdom in return for being freeing from the Shadow King's control. Together with his journal a letter is found, written to a Karella from Agda Coldhearth, which possibly led Gurn to search for a "cure" to his ailment by seeking out the lich. His discarded vestments and some Notes on a Failed Experiment can also be found, which mentions his failure in the process of creating a phylactery, which led to several Failed Phylactery. Amongst the overflowing bookcases can be found some books and notes, which likely helped in his research; the Mortal to Lich Notes, A Philosophical Treatise on the Nature of Lichdom, Tome of Ancient Knowledge, and Volume MCXII of the History of the Netherese Empire.

If one feels inclined to destroy the lich, one needs to throw his phylactery, found in a nearby chamber in the Repository of Undeath unlocked by the Ancient Key, into a portal to the Elemental Plane of Fire in the western part of the area, south of the entrance. Making the ordeal challenging is that he reforms, to aid in the endeavor Brother Deepvein bestowes a magical gemstone The Secret Revealed. If one sides with the lich, he requests five Amulet of the Keeper of Secrets Under the Mountain carried by Deepvein and the other priests (and one dropped from a zombie in the fight with the undead) at the Dwarven Dig Site. He will then reward his former weapon, the Dread Hammer.
