Mallin

The lich Mallin was one of the lovers of Tashara of the Seven Skulls. After Azuth defeated Tashara her seven skulls split apart, and went in many directions. Mallin is the skull that took residence in Myth Rhynn, where he studies and amasses magic in a shattered tower. He lures adventurers to him by magically-sent visions and rumors of rich treasure, to gain their magic.
