Vecna the Whispered One
Villainous mages, scheming politicians, and covetous servants bow before the Whispered One—Vecna, dark patron of necromancy, undeath, and hidden knowledge. This once-mortal archmage's transformation into lichdom only fueled his obsession with forbidden mysteries and divine conquest, a path that ultimately tore him asunder, leaving only his left hand and eye as relics of his former existence. Yet his consciousness persisted across centuries, eventually unraveling the Raven Queen's sacred ascension rituals to claim godhood, making him the only deity to join the pantheon of their own power.
Vecna became not only a god, but the very idea of forbidden knowledge incarnate. His portfolio includes secrets, undeath, and the slow, viral unraveling of all things.
Tenets of Faith
- Knowledge is your arsenal—gather it relentlessly, yet guard it jealously. Dispense fragments when necessary, but preserve the complete tapestry for yourself alone.
- Nurture your darkest impulses—they are the lens through which you will perceive the weakness in others, and the tools with which you will bend them to your will.
- Plant the seeds of destruction in the faithful of other gods, cultivating their downfall until Vecna's supplicants alone inherit the world.
