Message: <blockquote data-quote="Al2O3" data-source="post: 7145341" data-attributes="member: 6802284">Warlock makes pact with a devil. It probably does not cost him the soul, more of a loss leader on the part of the devil to lead to better deals in the future.Warlock likes the power, but wants immortality. A new deal is made. Maybe the price is a number of souls per year. Maybe it is something else. In any case, the devil comes back with a ritual, portion or similar to provide immortality. The warlock happily does what is needed, just to realise that the "immortality" is lichdom. Also, the phylactery has been brought to one of the hells for safekeeping. Can't have anyone break the devil's part by destroying it. Also: convenient if the lich-lock fails their part and the soul must be collected as forfeiture.Another version:Orcus likes undead as mentioned. Liches may create more undead. Making a lich might further the goals of Orcus. That kind of deal might actually be relatively reasonable as far as dealing with demons go.Sent from my Huawei P10 plus</blockquote>
