The Lichguard are a special kind of undead creatures created by Faranach the Lich to act as his bodyguards and assassins. They are wights that have been trained in strange magics by the Lich, and thus they have achieved innate spellcasting. Most of their time is spent in training in strange combinations of necromantic and psionoc powers. Every member of the Lichguard can use this training to summon their psychic weapons to use in battle against their foes.
