 The undead as we know them originated from the Wesfolks' Lich Lords, who were a group of powerful sorcerers of an ancient race that eventually became liches by an unknown method. Most of the Wesnoth peoples did not know much about the Lich Lords or their origins, though we may choose to reveal their backstory to the player at a later time. The Lich Lords were much stronger and more knowledgeable than ordinary liches (who themselves are already very powerful/mysterious beings), in part due to their access to a secret cache of knowledge pertaining to black magic. They thus are much more well-versed in the secrets of necromancy than most later necromancers and liches. The Lich Lords numbered very few, with a typical number given as eight. Lich Lord Jevyan was among them, noted as the most combat-oriented and war-like of them, but not necessarily the "most powerful". He notes specifically that he was unable to challenge two of the other ones, since they were more or less "invulnerable" in their own domains.
-In the years following the Wesfolk and Haldric's peoples (TODO: come up with a name for them) flight to the Great Continent, the first few decades found some of the new magi beginning to experiment with necromancy. In this time frame, there were no other liches (besides the remaining Lich Lords) and very few bands of powerful undead (only some remnants of Jevyan's armies). As more and more people were drawn to the allure of black magic, eventually stronger undead began to emerge (e.g. Ardonna from SotA and Malin Keshar from DiD), though none were able to match the prowess of the Lich Lords of old.
