A phylactery is only acsessible if your character is a lich, and undead creature which has revived itself, or had itself revived utilizing necromancy. The process of becoming a lich is not public knowledge, and you would need a damn good reason for having such information. Also, when a Lich's body is destroyed, their consciousness returns to their phylactery, where it stays, until someone weak of mind and heart holds/wears/uses their phylactery. Then a lich can possess said person while they are in possesion of the item. Think Arthas from Lich King.
