The Red Witch Gedna Relvel, also known as the Lich of Mournhold and the Crimson Witch of Mournhold, was a powerful sorceress who was condemned for studying and practicing forbidden magics. She was laid to rest in the ruins of Old Mournhold, but she cheated death and became a lich. She is associated with the Robe of the Lich.

History

During the Planemeld, Relvel served as a general to Molag Bal, and was summoned from her tomb to protect a Dark Anchor. However, she was banished back to her tomb by the Fighters Guild and the Anchor was lifted. Following her banishment, she was sent to the Inscrutable Lichyard, a graveyard in Coldharbour. She was defeated once again when the Fighters Guild entered the lichyard through a portal during their attack on the Ossein Cage.

Centuries later, in 3E 427, her tomb was unsealed by a curious adventurer. She then attempted to spread the Crimson Plague, a disease which was thought to have been stamped out in the Second Era, throughout the city of Mournhold by infecting rats. The lich was destroyed by the Nerevarine before the disease could spread to more than a few people.
