Gargantuan Undead (Lich), Lawful Evil > _"From ruin, we are reborn. From death, we rise eternal. We are past, present, and future. We are the Convergence."_ When two or more of the Dread Conclave Liches are slain, the remaining liches merge into The Convergence, an apocalyptic fusion of all five lich lords. It embodies ultimate necromantic, ice, flesh, shadow, and fate-warping magic in one entity, seeking to destroy reality itself. #### **The Convergence (Boss Stat Block)** **Armor Class:** 21 (Magical Barrier) **Hit Points:** 650 (40d12 + 300) **Speed:** 40 ft., fly 60 ft.
