We all have one, that place where we keep all the really cool ideas that just don’t fit in the world we’ve built. What you got? What’s that cool thing you made that toy can’t really use?

Oh fuck that’s such a metal and amazing idea! I’ve been toying with the idea that the “living saints” in my world are just liches but I don’t have an adequate pay off for that yet.
Do the saints put on a show that they are fighting each other, but secretly they meet under a tree or something and coordinate the next century of Kayfabe?
I was thinking they hold honorary positions in the church and act as living immortal proof of their religion’s power, but actually they’re nothing more than a well preserved zombie and they serve knowingly or unknowingly to advance the sinister power that actually runs the organization. Some are so fervent they believe lichdom is a stolen ritual and they are the real thing, some don’t remember being turned and might be disgusted to find out the truth, still others may hold this as blasphemy and seek to destroy the current church.
That sounds pretty awesome! I like the stolen lichdom especially.
I imagine it’d actually be the other way around and lichdom is the original but the church uses a combination of other spells to hide the obviously issues with the process. This process is inherently against their own god, so it actually condemns the saints.
