DND LICH - VAELTHARION LICH'S KING

Vaeltharion (The Archlich of the Woods)

Vaeltharion is an ancient and powerful lich, whose essence is fused with the corrupted energy of a forgotten forest. He wears a crown of bones and time-worn armor. In his right hand, he wields a staff topped with arcane purple flames; in his left, a heavy skull-shaped shield. A skeletal tail extends behind him. The model rests on a round base engraved with luminous runes and crystalline formations

Lore/Background: Once a great guardian of nature, Vaeltharion sought to stop a magical blight by binding his soul to the forest itself. The ritual transformed him into an immortal monster. Now, Vaeltharion no longer protects life, but presides over its eternal decay, commanding the shadows that creep among the ancient trees
