Editing Ethric (section)

== Story ==
Also called '''Ethric the Mad''', described as both the [[Enroth (planet)|world]]’s first lich and its first necromancer, and [[Sandro]]'s former master, who trained him to be a warlock and objected to him becoming a [[necromancer]]. Decades later, Ethric alerted [[Gem]] to the fact that Sandro was constructing powerful necromantic artifacts. In an attempt to thwart Sandro, he sent word to Sandro's enemies of his location and the fact that he possessed powerful artifacts.

Afterwards, he became active on [[Enroth (continent)|Enroth]], based in the [[Tomb of Ethric the Mad]], sometime before January 1st 1165 until he was slain by the protagonists of {{mm6}} during their journey. His skull was later brought to Gabriel Cartman, an alchemist in the city of [[Free Haven]]. By studying the first lich’s skull, Cartman hoped to discover a way to reverse the process of transformation into a lich.

In his attempt to conceal his findings, he became the target of betrayal that nearly cost him his life. Ethric embraced undeath to survive and became a lich. Yet he still clings to the pretence of life, walking among mortals with cryptic purpose. In the shadowed corners of the world, whispers of his fate grow louder, and he is now known to some as Ethric the Mad."'' — Biography
