Dethed the Death Lich was a Netherese arcanist and lich who formulated several death-based spells.[1]

Personality[]

The Death Lich was obsessed with death. He spent much of his life in an isolated environment studying death magic in the enclave of Ioulaum. Dethed devoted much of his life to creating spells that trapped and killed living beings, which he enjoyed a great deal.[1]

History[]

Dethed was born in 1869 NY (−1990 DR). At only 25 years old, the talented arcanist turned himself into a lich.[1] In his undead state, the arcanist developed multiple spells, including clone, trap the soul, circle of death, and finger of death.[2] Dethed's deathly antics finally caught up to him in 2021 NY (−1838 DR). As he took no students of his own, he performed spells on an apprentice of another Netherese arcanist. Dethed took control of the apprentice with his trap the soul spell, which was frowned upon by the enclave's archwizard, Ioulaum. Ioulaum himself killed the Death Lich after he found this out.[1]
