The Ice Lich

Aberrant Mind, Turned Lich
21st-Level Aberrant Wizard Archmage Sealed by the Electric Key

"The static will stop eventually. Everything does, under enough ice."

The Pyramid Beneath the Dunes

A blasphemous union of arcane wizardry and cosmic aberrant horror.

The Obsidian PyramidTakli Malan Desert

Entombed beneath the scorched dunes of the Takli Malan desert inside a massive obsidian pyramid, the Ice Lich is an aberrant creature called the Nyarlathen, a monstrous horror from some distant plane of existence, with tentacles on its face. The creature was of awesome power in the arcane and psionics. It eventually underwent the ritual sealing away its essence and becoming undead, a lich. Its desiccated, tentacle-jawed visage is rimed with frost that never thaws, radiating an aura of absolute zero and crackling blue arc-lightning that disrupts thought and burns flesh.

The Ice Lich views mortal life as meaningless static waiting to be silenced beneath a perpetual ice age. Its pyramid tomb is guarded by lightning-infused ice golems, psionic traps, and screaming sand-storms that bury any who approach without the Electric Key.

The Seal

Bound behind a single lock, so long as it stays lost.

The Electric Key

An octagonal reliquary of conducting electrum, storm-glass, and blackened silver. Its segmented base conceals a heavy, interlocking eight-pointed star shaft built to fit the grand seal atop this very pyramid. Full details, inscription, and powers live on the Coven's key page.
