I'm beginning a series of adventures set in my home town that involve a banestorm displacing a powerful Lich and his massive horde of 1000 year genetic breeding plan produced super orcs into the Chattahoochee Valley Basin of south Georgia in the US.

There are about a million of these orcs in the horde and the Lich is your basic Sauron type character. The story is about average people becoming heroes and combines several different members of the groups desires into one game.

I'm wondering how to build the Phylactery for the lich guy. He's basically just like a d&d lich in that his life force is stored in the Phylactery and it must be destroyed to actually kill him. He's to powerful for the PC's to go and fight him so they'll find out they have to go to his world and destroy his life force.

What do you guys think, some kind of device which is not on his person and grants him a number of powers? He's a mcguffin but I want to use the template again later so I'd like to stat it up.
