Liches are tier-V units of the Necropolis faction. They can be recruited from the Timeless Mansion.

They can be upgraded into the Pestilent Lich or the Sanguine Lich.

Description

A self-risen undead bound to the materium through a phylactery and a rite prepared before death. Liches seek immortality and power in the living world.

On Jadame, they also delve into time-turning magic — necromancy is not the only way to persist in this world, after all.
