Standing tall over the Twilight Forest canopy, '''Lich Towers''' are the lairs of the [[Twilight Lich]]. Built stoutly with stone blocks, slabs, wooden floors and railings, these imposing fortresses are easy to spot through even the dense Forest foliage, serving as the first real challenge for adventurers intending to push further into the more dangerous areas in the dimension.
The '''Lich Tower''' are tall structures ruled by the [[Lich]] of the Tower. The Lich rules over his domain from the tops of these huge towers. The Towers consist of a central tower with many smaller towers connected off the side, sometimes with bridges. The mobs there are Zombies, Skeletons, [[Swarm Spider|Swarm Spiders]], and [[Death Tome|Death Tomes]]. The central tower and many of the smaller towers have a double staircase along the walls to allow access to any connected towers. The Towers usually have decorated and furnished rooms, sometimes in multiple stories.


__TOC__
Room themes include libraries, spawner rooms, web-filled rooms, treasure rooms, and occasionally have strange things like an indoor desert or columns of [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Iron_bars Iron Bars]. Be alert for treasure chests, not only in the treasure rooms, but also tucked among the shelves of the libraries. The Lich has many different treasures, but most commonly they are [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Book Books], [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Potions Potions], [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Brewing Brewing Supplies], and enchanted equipment.


=Features=
At the top of the tower, a spawner will summon the [[Lich]]. His special lair has walls covered in paintings and torches, and elaborate chandelier, and a glass floor.
A typical Lich Tower consists of a single central spire, from which many smaller towers and chambers jut out haphazardly from the sides, sometimes connected with bridges, but often built directly against the main tower. Inside, a double staircase spirals up from bottom to top, allowing access to these antechambers. Explorers are advised caution as maintenance is not a priority of the undead Lich, with many holes in the staircases threatening to send the incautious to their doom at the bottom of the tower.


Many strange paintings adorn the walls of the tower, while the smaller rooms are furnished in a rather eclectic manner. Some rooms are vast libraries, with many bookcases of ancient tomes, while others are simple with nothing but a small pool of water or lava, or an empty flower pot. Some rooms have been found filled with {{mcw|Iron Bars}}, while stranger things such as an indoor desert or swamp vines are not unheard of. Not uncommonly, many of these secondary towers are multi-storey, with hidden treasure rooms located above the lower chambers to reward the meticulous explorer.
==Progression==
Much treasure has been found within a Lich Tower, with {{mcw|books}}, {{mcw|potions}}, {{mcw|Brewing|brewing supplies}}, and enchanted equipment sitting in chests nestled amongst the dusty bookshelves.
When using the [[Progression]] system, the Lich Tower will be surrounded by a glowing green field. Blocks and monsters inside the tower proper will be protected. Killing the [[Naga]] and picking up one of his [[Naga Scale]]s will dispel the protection.


One must be careful of the dangers lurking within this tower, however. As mentioned above, many adventurers have fallen to their death through the mouldering platforms, while many evil undead creatures have made their home under the rule of the Twilight Lich. Zombies, Skeletons, [[Swarm Spider|Swarm Spiders]] and malevolent [[Death Tome|Death Tomes]] must be fought and destroyed on the climb to the top. Magical foci, informally known as Spawners, are usually situated in the centre tower, causing an endless stream of foul creatures to overwhelm anyone who invades the tower until they can be destroyed up close.
Defeating the Lich and picking up one of his magical scepters will remove the protection on the [[Swamp]] and allow access to the [[Labyrinth]] in the swamp.


The Twilight Lich itself is the final challenge at the very top of the tower, within a vast glass bottomed chamber festooned with even more paintings and torches on the walls, along with an impressive chandelier hanging from the vaulted ceiling.  
==Use as a Base or Home==
The Lich Tower can, provided that it has been conquered fully, be used as a fully-functional base. The libraries have more than enough bookshelves to fully activate an Enchanting Table, and the empty rooms can easily be converted into farms. The Lich Tower will need some repairs to make it completely safe for habitation, such as repairing the main staircases to prevent any falls, and removal of all spawners to prevent monsters from invading. The Tower will also need to be heavily lit up, as there are many nooks and crannies that can spawn monsters given the chance to. The Tower also provides a fair share of chests for storage. The Tower is also high enough to provide a view for miles.

===Advantages===  
Those who first encounter a Lich Tower will find the building shrouded by a yellow-green force field. Although the tower can be approached, any attempt to break in or damage the structure will be blocked by this field. The open bridges between towers may appear to allow entry, but this is folly - the undead monsters that lurk within will also be protected by the force field, making them just as impervious to damage.
 
This force field can be removed by defeating a [[Naga]] within its courtyard and taking some of its [[Naga Scale|enchanted scales]].
 
In turn, defeating a Twilight Lich appears to remove magical enchantments over other areas of the Twilight Forest, specifically:
* Dispelling the mosquito swarms plaguing the [[Twilight Swamp]], allowing exploration into the [[Labyrinth]] beneath,
* Removing the blindness spell that shrouds the sinister [[Dark Forest]], allowing exploration into the [[Goblin Knight Stronghold]],
* Calming the blizzard over the [[Snowy Forest]], allowing entry into the [[Yeti Cave]].
