Vecna

God of Evil Secrets (a.k.a. The Arch-Lich, the Maimed God, the Whispered One, the Undying King)

Summary

Vecna is the evil god of undead, necromancy, and secrets. He rules that which is not meant to be known and that which people wish to keep secret. Evil spellcasters and conspirators pay him homage. He commands them to: Never reveal all that you know. Find the seed of darkness in your heart and nourish it; find it in others and exploit it to your advantage. Oppose the followers of all other deities so that Vecna alone can rule the world. Vecna is one of only two current gods that were once mortal. The other is The Raven Queen, but this does not give them a special bond. Vecna's role is the Lord of Undeath actually makes him the enemy of The Raven Queen. Vecna was a litch before becoming a god. As the god of secrets, Vecna tries to keep others from learning. This places him in direct conflict with Ioun, and a shadow war between followers of the two gods occurs almost everywhere.
