History
Lichgate was one of the first cities created when the Elari came to Lorithandar. Reluctant to separate themselves from their planar power sources, the Elari find areas on the continent sufficiently far from each other to punch holes through to their various power sources. One of the most commonly used powers was Stygian and the steep jagged mountains to the north were an ideal location for a sprawling deep city. The greatest of the Elari necromancers and Stygian conjurers took to fashioning the ultimate necropolis... a megacity built on direct necrotic energy transferred from Stygia. Alliances with various Stygian powers and a virtually limitless number of undead servants formed the city with incredible speed. Resources like adamantine, iron, and bone abounded, conjured daily by sorcerers working tirelessly. Many of the Elari Council itself created citadels in Lichgate wanting to be as close to the power source as possible. More so than any other Elari city, Lichgate has traffic with its linked plane, and it's not uncommon to see dozens of forms of sentient undead walking its streets.
Because of the reliance on undead for most menial tasks, Lichgate has a far smaller slave population than most Elari megacities. The slave races who thrived were the smarter and more useful; predominantly the so called "Bonecaster" Orc tribe.
