===Lich Spawn===
''Entry by [[Sir Kimo DawnBreaker]] and [[Sir Jericho Templar]], first printed in the 9th edition.''

This creature is seemingly a type of lich, but not nearly as powerful as Va'aster DarkLight was reported to be. Though we have no details about the process used to create such a creature, we theorize that they are the ''subject'' of a ritual similar to that used to create a proper lich, presumably performed by a much more powerful entity, possibly an actual lich.  Our theory is based on the similarities between the powers of the one we encountered, and those reported by the Company of the Lamp.  In nearly all cases, they are the same, simply at a more modest power level.

The existence of such a creature is worrisome, as it implies a threat as yet unknown, in the shape of its master.

====Notable Lich Spawn====
*The only example of such a creature yet encountered by the Light of Pelor, [[Salem]], was interred at [[the Zoo]] in [[Mt. Daneasus]]. He was laid low by the [[Companions of the Rising Sun]], who actually encountered him on multiple occasions, and finally destroyed him after the Zoo was breached.

====Recorded Powers====
The Companions of the Rising Sun reported Salem as having the following abilities:
<blockquote>
; Touch of Darkness : The touch of the lich spawn is the touch of pain, for the creature's dark energy dealt damage unto the hale with but a touch, and also imparted a temporary paralysis, similar to the spell ''hold person''.
; Fearful Presence : The creature was shrouded in an aura of death and evil, which we found difficult to penetrate.  Repeated exposure seemingly added resistance to it, as on subsequent encounters, we were not affected by it.
; Magic : The fell creature we fought assaulted us with magic, though of a power and quantity far less than has been reported for a full-fledged lich.
; Body of the Dead : The creature was unmoved by some of our magic, though he fell to the Light of Pelor.
; Regeneration : We destroyed the material form of Salem on multiple occasions, but he apparently regenerated somewhere removed from us, and returned to seek revenge repeatedly. He appeared to be going somewhat mad with power and bloodlust, so perhaps the regenerative process is somewhat taxing to the spirit. Eventually, he made the mistake of bringing his phylacterie along with him, and we captured it and turned it over to the Order of the Light of Pelor.
: [Editor's Note] - Salem has indeed regenerated (multiple times) since he was turned over to our captivity. Author's original suggestion that the regenerative process is taxing to his mind appear to be correct; the creature has been behaving more and more erratically, and has been slipping in and out of a catatonic state.
