Shadows
of
Gallowspire
By Brandon hodge
Beyond Lichdom
Many servants of death view lichdom as the
ultimate state of power and immortality. Yet
the ultimate does not always mean the end.
The oldest liches discover that although the
transformation into undeath spares them a
physical death, it does not make their forms
immune to the ravages of time. While many go
to great lengths to preserve their corpses, some
liches facing bodily dissolution make a second
foul apotheosis—their evil spirits possess their
own crumbling skulls and augment them with
gems enhanced with soul-binding necromantic
magic, thus transforming themselves into
legendary abominations known as demiliches.
Awaiting an Age of Secrets
Each year, many who dare to question tales held as
fact or push the boundaries of modern knowledge
disappear, leaving little trace of their existence or
lives’ work. Between communities of academics
pass whispered warnings of secrets not meant
to be known and the danger of straying from the
paths of established thought. In Ustalav, there is
a name for lore that kills: “anaphexis.” Yet such
knowledge alone is not lethal. None speak of those
who make it so—the Anaphexia, the Keepers of
Secrets. In library-tombs stalk tongueless scholars,
servants of the master of secrets, collecting
revelations unfit for a juvenile world and hoarding
them for an age that may never come.
