After the lich's defeat, the sword was lost for centuries until it was discovered by a group of adventurers who were exploring the ruins of an ancient temple. The sword was found buried deep beneath the temple, and it was said that it was guarded by a powerful undead creature.The adventurers who found the sword were never seen again, and it is said that they were consumed by the sword's malevolent power.
