There is a problem with the home of the Lich that causes 'very bad things' to happen. It could take some time to address, so in the meantime, please don't go into that area.
Wandering around outside is ok, going into the Lich tunnels is not. Please avoid it.
There will be a post when it is fixed.
Thanks for your cooperation.
