Contemplating: Lich Plundering and Sundering

A lich is rather difficult to deal with for the average scholar, more or less a seasoned group of powerful adventurers, but with patience and planning a lich can be managed as either a renewable source of academic knowledge lost to time or at the very least a burst of collected knowledge depending on how the matter is handled.

First, all liches are likely evil due to the dramatic level of sacrifice required to defy death to such a near infinite degree so the removal of a lich, no matter how congenial they seem to be, is rarely a social sin. The rare exception would be something like a divine revenant, kept by a god for their chores but such a creature will radiate its power as being much more than necrotic and its influence would be known instantly by anyone well educated enough in arcane matters.

From here we can discuss plundering methods. The first and most straightforward is waiting for someone else to do the job and kill the lich. Now if they only kill the vessel then this goves you a window of short order to enter the sanctum of the lich, pick over their academics and then escape before its corpse reforms by wherever the lich stored its phylactery. On average this process usually takes a day, giving what one would think is ample time to go over the knowledge, but traps and other such magical protections are likely still in place as the lich expects to return to the sanctum once enough force can be mustered to deal with said adventurers or other threats.

Now if the lich is destroyed, phylactery and all, then many of the safeguards around the lich's libraries might implode and deny their use spitefully to any tomb thieves. If this is the case then there are likely some explorable exploits in the structures the lich would use to hide more complex traps, either collapsing or exploding the space with ease. If you can manage to find these backrooms and disable their traps then when the lich is dealt with then what horde of information you can manage to locate beforehand.

From here the only practical dangers are within the knowledge themselves, such as spells with hidden code that when used within the spell can backfire or corrupt the spell, causing irreparable harm to the caster. Always take time and care when dealing with someone's works that were made with all the time and care of an immortal scholar.

The only other concern to be had is the denatured necromancy the is prevalent in lich-work. Any necromancy from a lich will be coated across their work like a miasma, sometimes as a detriment to the lich themselves. Without proper academic knowledge in necromancy and how it rests without a living or dead focus for the works, the ambient magic left behind can infect a scholar and slowly convert them into a lesser undead with enough time. Best practice is to have a clergyman of the god of death to purify the documents but a more suspicious and untrusting academic can learn necromancy and bring a gravesoil golem to funnel and absorb the loose necromantic essence off the untreated documents.

The object of capitalism's exploitation is not just the labor power of the periphery but also the environment of the entire Earth. Natural resources, energy, and food are all plundered from the Global South via unequal exchange with developed countries. Capitalism uses humans as tools for accumulating capital but can profit from the natural world by simply plundering its resources directly. This is one of this book's most fundamental assertions.

Description: Tiktok from user littlevictorianboy. He switches between two different characters, one being silent and just reacting in mild confusion to what he says. "Gen Z doesn't know how to lay siege. They don't! You give a Gen Z a battering ram, they'll say 'this isn't my phone!' Ha, you know, because they're always on their phones? And my legion is mostly 20-somethings and they're the worst, right? I bought them all gym memberships so that they could get big and strong, I show up, they're not lifting weights! They're in the saunas! Kissing! And sure is kissing a big part of being in a legion? Absolutely, it's one of the main parts, but it's not the only part! You know what pays for those gym memberships, for that sauna privilege? It's plunder. And if you're all dehydrated from kissing in the saunas all day, you're not gonna be able to lift heavy plunder out of a keep! Get real! Some days I think I should have never become a divine conqueror. It sounded good at first, lead a legion of men through the bog lands of Harthoon, striking my axe into the throne of false kings, but to be completely honest... I haven't sacked a keep in over a year. It's mostly just managing personalities and setting up fun activities for the legion to do on the weekends. Maybe I would've been happier in another industry, plastics or... cartoons, I don't know what people do. But Peulsupub, the blood god of the ancient stone, chose me. So here I am, tethered to my fate... Anyway, the legion's going roller skating this weekend so you should come!"
