It is the story of selfless love and unfading glory. Heroes of the past, who had lost their lives, but not their sentience, are exacting their revenge in the name of Mortis, the Goddess of Death.

Lich Queen's story

Many former high priestesses of the Cult of Death which ruled in Alkmaar long ago, are now ardently serving Mortis, their new mistress, who seized power over them after the fall of the southern sorcerers' domain.

Aspiring to become even more useful for the Goddess of Death, they busied themselves with magical research, developing new and more powerful spells and multiplying their magical knowledge, which was their main asset back in life. Now the undead sorceresses are known as Lich Queens, and there are very few in Nevendaar capable of standing against them.  The knowledge of these menacing necromancers is vast, rivaled only by their dedication to their Lady. Her interests, her plans and her will are sacred for the risen witches.

Lich queens can cause dismay in the enemy ranks just by appearing on the battlefield, and they are justly feared not only for their renowned power, cruelty and hate for the enemies of the Fleshless Goddess. There were times when the beauty of the flourishing Cult's priestesses was on par with their magical prowess, and everyone who had seen them was struck with awe and delight. Now their appearance is the reflection of Mortis' own looks, who had sacrificed her extraordinary beauty in the name of her one true love.

Time did not spare the undead witches; neither did the dark magic. Their flesh is withered to the bones, and the features of their once beautiful faces are now distorted beyond recognition.
