Vecna
I have not lived two-thousand fucking years to be taken down by lowly mortals such as yourselves! You are nothing without the Heart! My eye is the only thing that gives you value! I am Vecna, I am the Undying King, I-Vecna, also known as the Whispered One, The Archlich, or the Undying King, is a powerful, mortal-born archlich who has achieved the status of a demigod.-Vecna's final words before being defeated by Cullen

The Hand, the Eye, and the Heart of Vecna
During a conflict with the Circle of Eight, Vecna's heart was removed by the late Mordenkainen, preventing the archlich from ascending to godhood. Later, during the siege of Dathmyr, Vecna's lieutenant Kas would betray him, severing Vecna's left hand and left eye.The Sword of Kas
An ancient black blade said to be forged from the iron of a dying star by Vecna himself. The Sword of Kas was gifted to and named after Kas the Bloody-Handed when he served as Vecna's lieutenant. The blade was infused with part of Kas' soul, convincing him to usurp the archlich, ultimately resulting in the loss of Vecna's hand and eye.The Book of Vile Darkness
The Book of Vile Darkness is an ancient tome said to be written primarily by Vecna himself. The book details a fraction of Vecna's knowledge and is rumored to include the rituals used to achieve lichdom.Divine Symbols & Sigils

Tenets of Faith
- Learn all you can, and keep hidden that which you know. Reveal what pieces you must, but never the whole.
- Express and cultivate the evil within yourself, and in doing so, recognize it in others and exploit them for your own benefit.
- Seed the ruin of all who worship other deities, until only those who kneel before Vecna remain.

Ultimately, Vecna's goal is to ascend to godhood and reshape not only this world, but all of the multiverse under his banner.

Personal history
Vecna's early life was clouded in legend and contradiction. Most accounts stated that he was originally a human wizard from the Material Plane. After having become an extremely powerful wizard and starting to fear for his own mortality, Vecna dedicated his research to achieving undeath, later becoming the first and one of the most powerful liches ever in existence.
During his reign, Vecna trusted his lieutenant Kas with most administrative tasks. He forged the powerful Sword of Kas as an instrument of his lieutenant's authority.
