In D&D, liches take several days to resurrect from their phylactery if killed, 3 I think. Given respawning mechanisms, and the fact that liches are harder to have popping up on their own than monsters that can freely reproduce or be raised from random corpses, it could be said that the liches in the Everfall are simply regenerating their physical forms from their phylacteries.

Also, other universes, like the Elder Scrolls universe, have liches that need phylacteries to transform themselves, but once the transformation into a lich is complete, they no longer need or are directly connected with the phylactery. See the Oblivion book "The Path of Transcendence."

So lichdom could work in either of these ways in Dragon's Dogma and still be consistent with both Salomet using the Wyrmking's Ring to become a lich and killing liches in the Everfall.
