In this episode of Roll for Lore, we uncover the dark legacy of Vecna, one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most infamous villains turned god. Once a mortal necromancer obsessed with power and forbidden knowledge, Vecna rose through betrayal, undeath, and godhood to become the patron of secrets, undeath, and dark magic. We trace his story across editions—from the feared lich-king of Greyhawk to a reality-warping god in the modern multiverse—and explore his infamous relics, the Hand and Eye of Vecna. Whether you know him from classic modules, Critical Role, or the newest campaigns, this episode is your deep dive into the lore, power, and enduring mystery of Vecna the Whispered One.
