Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. I have no idea how to fix the many many holes in the bad guy’s plan that you point out above, though :) Delete So the idea that he was trying to become immortal through something like the baelnorn method but something went wrong and he wound up as a lich is actually plausible I think, as well as making it more reasonable this would end in a boss fight no matter what, which I would assume was a design goal since EOB doesn’t have a tradition of talking past obstacles - plus from a player’s point of view, most know what a lich is whereas you’d need to explain an alternate kind of magic undead creature and it probably wouldn’t add much to the experience. He’s also depicted as getting increasingly power hungry and paranoid, as I recall. In Forgotten Realms lore at least, the process for becoming a baelnorn has been lost for a while, and I believe can involve using magical elven energy fields called mythals, which are probably pretty messed up in Myth Drannor post-fall.
