I was thinking.  I might have him start out as just his human self.  The lich thing I going to be too hard to hide regularly at first, given all the spells you can use to see through illusions.  So here's what I'm thinking now:He's human when they find him -- he's the heir to the throne of Cormyr, can they escort him there?  He shows up in Cormyr, and since he's an heir and older than Azoun V (who's a friggin baby) he gets to hold the throne for the time being at least.  He works to clean the kingdom up for a while, then preps everyone for the war thing.  While he's doing so, an attempt is made on his life by a Zhentarim infiltrator (who of course only got in because kingy hired him to do so on the sly as part of a series of secret deals he's got not only with the Zhents but with the Drow of Cormanthor).  This will of course rally the peope to his war cause more, especially if the attempt can be blamed on a neighbor.  So the invasions will begin -- during the course of one of these, he will be "critically wounded" in battle and will vanish behind his guarded chambers for a time.  While he's back there, let the lich ritual begin!  As for his phylactery -- I was thinking an amulet -- like, I dunno, the amulet of lineage and right to rule that hangs around young Azoun V's neck?  And then if the young heir were, oh, I dunno, kidnapped by "unknown assailants?"Is this all as cool and evil as it sounds, or am I getting overconfident?</blockquote>
