While the lich is a thing which seeks to preserve existence for its own sake, the antilich joins the undead for another purpose- the furthering of knowledge. Gathering up bits and pieces, interviewing and researching, known for copying or even stealing library books, antiliches are rare but not hard to find. While they gather this knowledge, they are often loathe to share what they have gathered and prefer to keep it to themselves, necessitating lengthy bargaining to garner some piece of forgotten lore. Rare indeed are they who have the patience to deal with archliches. Instinct: To hoard and collect knowledge.

• Preserve what might be forgotten.
• Cast some long-forgotten spell.
• Bargain for some knowledge.
