Lichdoms (concept)
The Lichdoms are the remains of what was once a series of dozens of advanced kingdoms, empires and magocracies under the Oejeynican culture. The Lichdoms were formed during the Sorrowing of Oejeynica roughly during the same period as the establishment of the Aversarian Aautokrata and the arrival of the Marchers in Chevalie when the first Arch Lich, Vilas Venslau, unveiled his powers as a Lich and scoured nearly all living things from the region before invading south. To this day, the Lichdoms have remained devoid of all actual life besides the occasional carrion bird, only the undead and their masters moving about the ruined land.
Due to centuries of Liches absorbing whatever life force can be found, battling one another with extremely powerful magic, and corrupting the land, what was once one of the most fertile areas of Aeras will most likely never be able to properly sustain life again.
