Vecna (VEK-nah)

Vecna stands alone as history's most potent and malevolent lich. His insatiable hunger for power transcended mortality, propelling him into godhood. Now, he is the embodiment of secrets, the ultimate authority over all that is hidden and unknown.
Many titles echo his dread presence: the Master of Secrets, the Arch-Lich, the Chained God, the Maimed God, the Spider Throne Master, the Whispered One, the Dying King, the Lord of the Rotted Tower, and the Undying King.

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 to exploit them for your own benefit.


• Seed the ruin of all who worship other deities, until only those who kneel before the Whispered One remain.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Vecna's arrogance is as vast as his power. From the very moment he clawed his way to godhood, he has exuded an air of smug superiority, a being who believes victory is his birthright. Mortals beneath his notice are but gnats to be swatted away, their concerns beneath his contempt.
Yet, beneath this arrogant facade lies a core of ice-cold calculation. Vecna is a master manipulator, a puppet master who gleefully exploits the deepest fears of others to further his own schemes. He derives a cruel satisfaction from twisting his victims' anxieties into instruments of his will.
Vecna wields a wicked dagger, a tool for both arcane rituals and gruesome torture. His ultimate ambition: to usurp the other gods and seize dominion over the entire cosmos. This hunger for ultimate power makes him a pariah among deities, his name spoken only in hushed tones and his worship punishable by the most brutal deaths.
