The Undead Council

What is The Undead Council
Carreg wynn is a city of 2 parts. One above, and one below. On the surface, it is known as the town of Carreg wynn, well known throughout the frontier as a lawless and wild town of hero’s. Below is the Crypts, Hive of undead, and home of the Undead council. The nexus of laylines that exists below Carre gwynn has made it a gathering place for beings of power, and as such many Greater undead have sought to live in this area and harness that power. In order to avoid war with each other these undead have come together to rule and formed a council to govern themselves and keep the peace. At any time, their must be 6 members of the council, and if any are lost new council members will be sought out… or created. Despite the rather frightful nature of undead and the council, they are rather benign. They hold no open hostility towards the town they slumber beneath, simply wishing to be left alone to their business. Some of the councilors are outright friendly to the town wishing to engage in talks and meetings. But it is unwise to allow their friendly demeanor fool you, each council member is a powerful undead who will bring their wrath down upon those who cross them.

Type of Undead
Master Lich

Appearance
The Lich changes body’s as one would change clothing. Sometimes appearing strong and humanoid, sometimes decrepit and rotted. He slips his soul into any vessel available to him, provided the vessel has no soul inhabiting it already. However, regardless of his form, the lich cannot hide his cursed eyes. In any body he inhabits his eyes will appear as black moots of darkness from which 2 pinpricks of white light stand in the center. These dots of light flash, change intensity, and change color depending on the lich’s mood, often betraying the lich’s calm and stoic exterior.

Attitude
The Lich Likes power and control, He is always willing to work with those who are willing to work FOR him. He is crafty and cunning and will use whatever tools are available to him to achieve his goals. He is secretive about his personal plans and information, only sharing it when he deems it necessary. He is somewhat eccentric, and loves to be the center of attention, often describing his thoughts at length and speaking of himself with extreme merit. He is also extremely prideful, often dealing out punishments for slights against him quickly and harshly. However, He also has a melancholy side He has spent so long Hiding and planning he has grown tired with age, and claims to wish to simply see Carregwynn and the next age of heroes grow. Whether this Melancholy is true, or mealy another ruse to further his own goals only time can tell.

Special Powers
The Lich Is a master of magic’s, and rituals. Likewise, he is a scholar and educated on most subjects. However, his main strength lies in his knowledge of the soul.
