Lich

Liches are the powerful undead sorcerers that are created when a necromancer is finally able to cross the threshold of life and undeath. They remove their souls from their bodies, implanting them into an object able to hold it, and thus render themselves undead. This state of undeath allows their power to grow extensively.
Since Lich are undead, and are still very much necromancers, the Vigilant Order and the Divine Church despises these creatures. The general public often does as well, as necromancers tend to desecrate tombs and graveyards for their work. They are often hunted down and exterminated on sight.
Magical weapons and spells are able to significantly weaken liches, as does silver, but the most effective means of killing a lich is to find the object that the lich has placed its soul into and destroy it.
