| - A lych (from True-Tongue: Lij, meaning "Person"), also known as a mortaralij (True-Tongue: "dead-fogman") is the corpse of a fogman that has died after being exposed to extreme heat, or cold, and was then finded (another term for lyches) by a finder. This finder's personality is then given to their lych, and the lych becomes their soulslave. Because of fogmen's nature, that is to say their ability to see their past and future, they would only ever die by committing suicide, usually because it is their fate to serve a specific person, their finder. Thus, most lyches are finded by kings, queens, and warriors, so that they might become warriors alongside their finders.

Thus, most lyches are finded by kings, queens, and warriors, so that they might become warriors alongside their finders. A lych is not a lych until they have their finder. In the True-Tongue of 10th, the corpse of a fogman without a finder is known as a kaalij, meaning "empty person." Humans have no terms for this because the second a lych is finded, they gain their personality, and have no recollection of their body's past life as a fogman. A lych is a completely distinct person to the fogman that came before them, but much like the nameless child, is one soul with them.
