Death holds no sway over your patron, who has unlocked the secrets of everlasting life, although such a prize—like all power—comes at a price. Once mortal, the Undying has seen mortal lifetimes pass like the seasons, like the flicker of endless days and nights. It has the secrets of the ages to share, secrets of life and death. Beings of this sort include
Vecna, Lord of the Hand and the Eye; the dread
Iuz; the
lich-queen
Vol; the
Undying Court of
Aerenal;
Vlaakith,
lich-queen of the
githyanki; and the deathless
wizard Fistandantalus.
In the
Realms, Undying patrons include
Larloch the Shadow King, legendary master of
Warlock’s Crypt, and
Gilgeam, the God-King of Unther.
