    And much to his delight every morning began with a simple greeting, "Good morning, mister skeleman."

    And I like the fact that anyone that came to mess with him never made it past the village.

      Forgotten Realms got you covered.
      Baelnorns, sometimes called baelnorn liches, were elves who chose a path of Prime-bound duty beyond death which closely resembled lichdom. They often did so to serve or safeguard their families, communities, or important places, and acted as keepers and protectors of elven clans and holdings far beyond the lifespan of a living elf.

    I had a Lawful Evil Corrupted Cleric character that slowly worked his way through to Necromancer and ultimately became a BBEG Lich as i transitioned from player to DM in my tabletop games years ago. At one point he was locked into his tower atop mountains overlooking a village. People would come from all over to gawk or threaten and attack him while he was locked away. Much the same, a group of children weren't afraid and this Lich had always been the Class Clown so he needed the attention more than he needed the unending fights.
    Cue new BBEG, in a story I did not DM, but one of the players from our group did, deciding to take over the country the village is in. He sends _heroes_ (read: mercenaries) to attack the Lich and "free" the village "from tyranny", aka pillage the village and fail to kill a Lich whose phylactery isn't lost, but isn't in an easily found location either. Goons gonna goon, cannon shells start hitting walls, magical sigils start weakening, school gets demolished with all children inside (we played dark campaigns and I rolled poorly), the Lich gets loose and is not happy.
    I loved this story and the writer captured that feeling of schadenfreude when you know what's about to happen. 👍

    Children are the purest form of humanity that there is. There’s a reason that their joy and well-being has become a priority throughout society, why children are the ones preyed on by the scum and vile and acts of true evil.
    When the children of humanity play, giants sleep calmly. But if you dare make them cry, beware the skeletons in their closets.

    I and my wife have been Gamers for better than 40 years. Some time ago, we discovered a 2nd ed writeup for a type of elven lich that protected some elven communities. After that, my wife established a home brew god of non-evil intelligent undead. This lich would fit perfectly as an NPC in some of the games she DM's.

    Great daemons ! HIM! The traitor! The fallen who teaches forbidden lore to mortals!
    They await ,because litches are patient beyond belief, they await, the day the humans will inevitably betray him.
    On that day ,the mad cackle of litches everywhere, will echo around the world, mocking him.
