DEVKARIN LICH
Powerful spellcasters of the Devkarin 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 memories, their personalities, and espe-
cially their 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, drink, or sleep.

STORR EV

at the politics of court, and she is feared for her power to
transform dead monsters, from ordinary beetles to the
mightiest wurms, into fierce undead horrors. Such crea-
tures acco mpany her into battle.
