Maybe if the ones she accidentally kills she raises them again basically giving him free will as undead. Some will love her, some will indifferent to her and some will hate her and work to bring her down. So many ideas.... 😂

Thank you. I have plans of maybe building a campaign around it. Having the lair as this Library and when adventurers or "Heroes" attack and get beaten she heals them that fixes their gear and leaves them with a little money in this random clinic or inn that's part of her domain.

Concept I was watching a video about Star Wars and no only are most Sith evil for no reason other than to be evil, but they are disfigured too. Made me think if I became a Lich or something I'd do it to be happy and enjoy myself. So decided to try and create one like that.

To her, becoming a lich was no different than using magic to repair a broken leg—simply a tool to keep her going. She constructed her phylactery not with malice but with joy, thinking of all the centuries she could spend learning, teaching, and discovering.

There were too many mysteries to unravel in a single lifetime. When illness struck her in middle age, cutting short her studies, she turned to necromancy as a means to continue her work. Unlike most liches, Kalyndra did not choose undeath out of fear or greed but as a practical solution.

To her, every answered question opened a door to a thousand more, and nothing brought her greater joy than learning for the sake of learning.

Her happiest days were spent collaborating with others, teaching, and sharing her discoveries. However, Kalyndra always felt the weight of mortality.

Backstory: The Joyful Seeker of Knowledge

Kalyndra Varn was once a celebrated scholar, a prodigy who viewed the world with boundless curiosity. Born into a peaceful community, Kalyndra spent her youth exploring libraries, ruins, and ancient texts, becoming enamored with the beauty of discovery.
