coins (the newest marked 10017). In the area, aside from the other ship,

Landrin, Anaphora (Geoff) - legendary female elf. Was last seen
(for certain) working for Aritheya, but was captured by Eck in the Sprines
trying to escape from the attack on Aritheya. An old schoolmate of Marie
Marat and also speculated to be associated with Ursula. "According to the
stories [or at least Mirabella LaFevre-DuJours], the great Anaphora herself
was meant to go to this place, this strange, horrible wasteland. But, at
the last moment, some unknowable hand of destiny held her behind in the
homeworld, where she faded into legend. Is she really working as a spy for
the surface gnomes? Or has she secretly been taken into the highest ranks
of SETCO... Four years my junior, and yet her name was the buzz of every
young girl's lips back home. I quit babysitting when I could no longer
bear to hear of her. 'Mira, can you shoot as well as Anaphora?' 'I'm
gonna be just like her when I grow up'"

Information from personnel at Sankwich, with comments from Aleph
Roterisk:
Liches are are either powerful wizards or someone "lichified" by a powerful
wizard. To the best of anyone's knowledge, one becomes a lich by linking
the mind and soul of the designated entity. They are almost helpless when
it comes to affecting the physical world, unless they occupy a physical
shape. This is not something they have to do, however, most will for the
simple fact that it is more comfortable for them. The linking of the mind
and soul requires a tremendous amount of magic to sustain [hence the use of
magic "batteries" such as rings or swords]. Fortunately, we at Sankwich
seem to have a good start on a working relationship with the lich. Also, a
lich is incredibly restricted in how far he can travel. Because of the
large amount of magic it requires to maintain the enchantment they can not
travel far from their source of power.
Ancient gnomish liches - some associated with Pyatnitza and the Sprinal
Tap cave portal. Another may live on Shang Island (might be Middle
Gnomish.). "Bad guys."
As far as Ghenjar being a lich. The "magic" he supposedly uses to
sustain
the link is a ring.
Ancient orcish liches - associated with Grendel's cave and various
places on Vorn. See the Orcish Virtues. "Good guys."
A creature, identified by Squire Reyl as a lich, was destroyed by the
O.R. during the Biskupin mission. It was wearing a crown and wielding a
longsword that just looked evil.
During the first orcish empire, The Captain was first seen after being
given
by a "specter" to one of the leaders of the orcish armies who had denounced
pacifism.
Another lich was encountered by the Grotto group on Vorn.

Luke (NPC?) - human male encountered by Lantelle S'vorak and Stephan
Bolger on Vyrica (?) late in November 10037. They were taken by a band of
orcs a day and a half into the mountains, to a high valley, where they met
a gnome and a human in maroon robes who, only after continued prodding,
told them they could call him 'Luke'.
Luke explained that they were a
guerilla band fighting against the invaders, and that Stephen and Lantelle
were free to go any time, but he cautioned that without help they could be
captured. He took a great interest in the iron ring that Lantelle wore,
saying that it was a signet of that ziarchy of druids that split from the
traditions and went to fight with the Ecks.
He told this story: The
druids had a prophecy saying that a 'wave' would begin in central Vyrica
and overwhelm all. The ecks coincided their move so that they would seem
to be that wave. Most of the druids believed the ecks to the the fortold
'wave' and went over to their side. Jubal Tokenfall was apparently
included. He also mentioned that the former wearer of this ring had once
been his teacher. When asked why he wore the Shangri-laist robes, he said
that he was one of them.
On November 29th, Luke promised to help Lantelle
and Stephen if they would let him study the ring for a couple days. After
much contemplation and discussion they agreed. Not long after 5 humans
came into the area in apparent desperation. They said a strange undead
army had risen from the ruins of Surido. But as people surrounded them to
peer at a map they had unrolled, all hell broke loose. The 'men' mutated
into undead creatures, and ecks rushed into the area. Luke somehow
encapsulated one of them in a block of ice, and told Lantelle and Stephan
that they could escape by jumping into the pool. He said there were secret
tunnels beyond a hole in the bottom of the pool.
