Banelich

Baneliches were liches who served as clerics of Bane during their mortal lives.

Personality
Baneliches looked and acted the same as others of their kind, but they continued to worship Bane in undeath.

Powers
They shared the same immunities as regular liches, and wielded powers such as paralyzing attacks and the aura of fear they put forth.

Baneliches continued to garner more power in undeath, achieving new heights every hundred years or so.

History
Dismayed by the number of his followers who were slain by agents of good morality, Bane took direct action. Every half century or so, Bane would reveal to his most powerful priest the method in which they could serve him for eternity.

Over the centuries, about 35 of his priests underwent the process to become a Banelich. Only ten of them were accurately identified by others in the Realms.

Most baneliches were destroyed in the, when followers of Iyachtu Xvim released the Tyrantfog across northern and central Faerûn. Those that survived carried on with the plots and plans they had developed.
