Liches

Liches are exceptional individuals that have given all but their bodies to the power of the undead. During their lifetime they gave their souls away to be granted the strengths of an undead body and immortal life. Many liches were once powerful scholars in the Dead Wastes, others might have been leaders of small caravans or tribes. All liches have a 'phylactery' this much is known, however the phylactery varies from lich to lich. It is very common however that their phylactery is hidden far into the Dead Wastes buried under secrets that the lich hopes will never be uncovered.
Liches are in constant war with necromancers though few know the reason why there is a deep rooted hatred between the two.
==Notable NPCs==
Makith
The Leader of the Anubis Liches, not much is known about him. He has fought Athesia once before and lost. However he has been resurrected in recent years. Makith has pledged a treaty with Athesia to fight the remaining two Liches of the Wastes. As part of this treaty Markus was loaned to Athesia, before he was cured of Anubis Wrath.
Kemanwati
One of the Pharaoh's most trusted advisors, he was seen with Moswen uncovering and returning necromancy to the Dead Wastes despite the protection against them. Considering Moswen is alive today, speculation suggests Kemanwati likely is as well. Kemanwati has a presumed allegiance with Djesmit.
Djesmit
Seen only once in the Black Library, she is considered to be the assassin that killed the last Pharaoh during his moment of weakness. Djesmit has a presumed allegiance with Kemanwati.
