	~~For many~~ years, ~~foolish heroes attempt to vanquish~~ the lich ~~named Mal Keshar~~ in ~~his mountain lair~~. ~~None prevail~~.		As the years pass, a pattern emerges. Every winter the lich builds his forces and in the spring sends them out to battle the orcs. Any human, dwarf or elf patrols that get in the way are collateral damage.


			Occasionally a hero attempts to vanquish the lich named Mal Keshar in his mountain lair. None prevail. Eventually one will.

	Malin is ~~mortally~~ wounded ~~after~~ a ~~large battle with orcs~~, ~~creating~~ a crude altar in which to sacrifice himself and achieve ~~Lichdom according to Darken Volk's book~~. He cleanses his new domain of vermin and trolls ~~before settling down~~.		Malin reads the book he won from Darken Volk and discovers that to become a Lich, one must first die. The incantations for this ultimate step must be read with one's dying breath. This is what Darken Volk had spent so much energy trying to retrieve.

			Malin hears about more orcish attacks on Parthyn and, in a rage, attacks an enormous orc army. He is badly wounded and retreats to a small cave. Dying, he creates a crude altar in which to sacrifice himself and achieve lichdom. Malin Keshar dies, but his spell works and he is reborn as a Lich, Mal Keshar.

			The new lich hungers for life and warmth. He cleanses his new domain of vermin and trolls.
