While the lich is a thing which seeks to preserve existence for its own sake, the antilich joins the undead for another purpose- the furthering of knowledge. Gathering up bits and pieces, interviewing and researching, known for copying or even stealing library books, antiliches are rare but not hard to find. While they gather this knowledge, they are often loathe to share what they have gathered and prefer to keep it to themselves, necessitating lengthy bargaining to garner some piece of forgotten lore. Rare indeed are they who have the patience to deal with archliches. Instinct: To hoard and collect knowledge.

• Preserve what might be forgotten.
• Cast some long-forgotten spell.
• Bargain for some knowledge.

Our Lady of Darkness, Paramental of the Glass Pyramid. Summoned by mathematical mystics, she destroys their enemies while sucking away their lives social and material. Certain cities have places prepared for her, and she hunts trespassers. Other places are naturally hers, and she lurks there. Some say she shares secrets and shows wonders if you appease her, but none will claim to know how. Adapted from the monster in Our Lady of Darkness by Fritz Leiber. Instinct: To corrupt and isolate.

• Share the terrible secrets of cities.
• Dance with the wind.
• Form a body from what is at hand.
• Cast a strange and subtle spell.
