A Lich in Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a powerful undead spellcaster who has achieved immortality through dark rituals, often involving the creation of a phylactery, an object that anchors their soul to the material plane. This grants them eternal life and the ability to continue their studies of arcane magic indefinitely.

Liches are typically depicted as ancient and malevolent beings, driven by their thirst for knowledge, power, or revenge. They are often former wizards or sorcerers who sought immortality at any cost, delving into forbidden necromantic arts to achieve their goal.

Physically, a lich appears as a skeletal figure wrapped in tattered robes, with glowing eyes that burn with an otherworldly light. Despite their undead nature, liches retain their intellect, memories, and magical abilities from life, making them formidable adversaries.

Liches are renowned for their mastery of necromancy and other dark magics, capable of raising legions of undead minions to serve their bidding. They also possess a vast array of arcane spells at their disposal, making them formidable opponents in combat.

One of the defining characteristics of a lich is their phylactery, which serves as the vessel for their soul. As long as the phylactery remains intact, a lich cannot be permanently destroyed. Instead, if slain, they will regenerate over time, returning to unlife to continue their dark machinations. To defeat a lich permanently, adventurers must locate and destroy its phylactery, a task often fraught with peril and mystery.

Liches are often found dwelling in hidden lairs or ancient ruins, surrounded by traps, guardians, and loyal servants. They may also manipulate mortals from behind the scenes, pulling strings to further their own agendas or sow chaos throughout the land.

In D&D lore, encountering a lich is a daunting challenge for even the most experienced adventurers, requiring cunning, strategy, and sheer bravery to overcome. Their dark presence looms large in the world, a testament to the perils of unchecked ambition and the corrupting influence of dark magic.
