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. | Standing tall over the Twilight Forest canopy, '''Lich Towers''' are the lairs of the [[Twilight Lich]].

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. | 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.

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. | Many strange paintings adorn the walls of the tower, while the smaller rooms are furnished in a rather eclectic manner.

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]]s and malevolent [[Death Tome]]s 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. | ||
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. | 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. | ||

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. | Those who first encounter a Lich Tower will find the building shrouded by a yellow-green force field.

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 magical 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 attract unwanted creatures if not sufficiently lit. The many treasure chests found throughout the tower provide ample storage space. Lastly, the tower is also high enough to provide a view for miles from the top. | The Lich Tower can, provided that it has been conquered fully, be used as a fully-functional base.
