You're a Lich, why even bother?
So you spent your entire life studying the arcane arts, mastering powerful magic and gathering the ingredients necessary to resurrect yourself after die. After all that you finally meet success! You come back with no face to speak of, and your surroundings are rather dismal, but you're immortal!
Okay so here's the question.
What's your motivation?
I mean, what's even your reason for getting up in the morning? You don't need food. You don't need to get laid. You're not paying rent if your sitting in your little dungeon so there's no need to work. You don't have any kids or grandkids to watch, and if you did you probably wouldn't care. Athletics probably bore you. It's possible that you like doing creative stuff like painting or basketweaving but I've never seen a lich anywhere that does that kind of stuff. I suppose you could go out and conquer kingdoms, but to what end? Say you clean the entire kingdom of the living, what possible enjoyment would you actually get out of that? (Furthermore, aggressive behaviour like that would be extremely counter productive to your original purpose of achieving and maintaining immortality).
Can anybody give me a good reason for wanting to be a Lich?

You never really need to get laid (and i bet theres some kind of dark magic pleasure far more fun)

Yes they would else some other lich would come along and steal their dungeon

You would want to teach them the family trade

Not if you count magic fighting as athletics

The paint portraits with the blood of virgin sacrifices and weave baskets with the skin of thier victims. (brigten up the dungeon)

maybe they want to make the world a better place? Dark magic doesnt nesicarily have to be used for evil

Well maybe they could just live a normal life amoungst the humans and people will learn not to discriminate against imortals (or the humans could become imortal themselves)

I can't understand kids these days, falling for those get-lich'ed-quick schemes and trading their humanity for an eternity of undeath. Worst of all, most of them no longer believe in taking showers. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a lich, you'd better be able to stomach the smell of the rotting flesh that still clings to their clattering bones.
