Terikan (tooltip "Lich") is a necromancer who turned himself into a lich.

Location[]

Initially, he stands on the elevated central platform of the Tiers of the Dead in Upper Dorn's Deep.

After being killed, he can respawn there and in the neighboring Hall of Heroes.[Note 2]

Background[]

Some time before his transcendence into a lich, the necromancer explored the abandoned Dorn's Deep intending to make it his base of operation, utilizing the interred at the cemeteries and ghosts roaming its halls as unwilling servants.[1] He had hoped to visit Wyrm's Tooth to gather some necessities for his rite, but found himself unable to open the door in the Hall of Heroes without its key, leaving him no choice but to undergo the ritual without it, though it would leave him weaker than intended.[1] Afterwards he safely locked away his phylactery inside one of the tombs, albeit perilously close to another tomb with some connection to the plane of Negative Energy, which upon discovery while still mortal had left him fatigued and bereft of his life force.[1]

Interaction[]

He attacks you on sight. When killed, he respawns after a short while.

To permanently dispose of him, you have to complete the main quest step:

Destroying Terikan (52,500 - 136,500 exp)
