DEVKARIN LICH
Powerful spellcasters of the Devka rin elves, steeped in
Golgari magic, can transcend death to become liches.
For them, life and death don't merely chase each other
in an inevitable cycle; the two can intersect, and at that
nexus the liches find immense power, which commands
the awe, envy, and fear of other Golgari.
Unlike the shambling zombies they command, liches
retain their memor ies, their personalities, and espe-
cially t heir ambition. They also retain the grace and
stature of living elves, but their bodies are in a constant
state of slow decay. Various forms of fungus grow in
and over the rotting flesh to hold the body together.
Undead Nature. The lich doesn't require air,
food, dri nk, o r sleep.Storrev
Storrev is a lich and a leader of the Erstwhile. She is adept
at the politics o f cou rt, and she is feared fo r her power to
t ransform dead m onsters, from o rdi nary beetles to the
mightiest wurms, into fierce undead horrors. Such c rea-
tures a cco m pany he r into battle.DEVKARIN LICH
