Lich's Abode?

[Kryndal Levik]

I'm running a campaign in which I need to include a lich's tomb. He won't be "home" when the PCs arrive, but I would like to use something that is already developed... Other than the Tomb of Horrors, does anyone have any suggestions? Edition doesn't matter, since I'll end up having to modify it heavily anyway- any input is appreciated!

Well, I'm partial to old things being found in the desert myself (less populated and things preserve well there), so I might pick apart the old Desert of Desolation series of modules from 1st ed. and use that. Wilderness travel, and the transportation of way too much treasure will pose problems, not to mention that a truly powerful item might be made in such a way as to be too large to move from it's resting place (which can let the DM make it more powerful than what the party might usually be exposed to).

Old places have lots of history, so a few historical tidbits and stories are in order. Curses and things like that might keep the locals at bay too.
