Lich
In life, the frost-mage Ethreain （not yet a Lich） had used the threat of destructive ice to enslave entire kingdoms. His subjects, aided by a few desperate magicians, eventually grew bold enough to ambush him. Armed with enough charmed rope to bind him forever, they tied the frost mage to adamant weights and dropped him in a pool known chiefly for being bottomless. It wasn't. He only fell for a year or so before an outcrop snagged him. There he rested, dead but undecaying, until the geomancer Anhil thought to verify the legend of the supposedly bottomless Black Pool. Anhil's plumbline snarled with the ropes that bound the drowned magician, and up he hauled an unexpected prize. Thinking that by rendering the dead undead, he could question the Lich about the properties of the pool, he removed the bindings and commenced a simple rite of resurrection. Even the descendants of Ethreain's enemies were long forgotten by time, so there were none to warn Anhil against imprudence. But he learned the error of his judgment almost immediately, as Lich threw off the shackles and consumed him.
巫妖
巫妖生前是一位叫艾斯瑞安的冰霜法师，他曾经威胁要带来毁灭性的冰霜，企图征服整个王国。终于，那些平民在几个绝望的魔法师的帮助下，终于鼓起了勇气去暗算他。他们用一些具有足够魔力的绳索把他永远束缚住了，被绑上了厚重的石头后，这个冰霜巫师被扔进了一个据说深不见底的湖泊。但其实不然。他只下沉了一年左右，绳索挂在了一个石头上。在那里他平静地死去，虽然死了但并没有腐烂，直到风水师安希尔前来核查被认为是无底湖的黑暗之湖的传说。安希尔放下的铅垂线与绑住被淹死的巫师的绳索缠在了一起，于是他拉上了意外的收获。他认为将死者转变为不死族后，便可以向巫妖询问这个湖的情况，他移除了捆绑巫妖的绳索并进行了简单的转生仪式。由于艾斯瑞安的故事已经被时间所抹去，就算是当年杀死他的人的后代也不再记得，所以当时没有人能对安希尔的鲁莽行为做出警告。不过紧接着，安希尔就尝到了苦果，巫妖一摆脱绳索的束缚，就将他吞噬。
