  • A brief statement about God. An expansion of the statement to describe the God.
  • Vecna is the god of immortality. Born Vecna Bectin, Vecna was a human king who became the first lich, he is also known as The Grey King. He is a member of the Cradelic Pantheon but is not worshiped with the others, he is cast down upon and cursed. Domains Death, Evil, Knowledge, Magic, Trickery, Darkness, Deathbound, Envy, Greed, Undeath
  • Vecna, known by many names, was a powerful, mortal-born archlich. Upon cheating death he began searching for ways to turn himself into a god, but his ritual was thwarted and he himself was slain six hundred years before the time of Vox Machina. Vecna was later considered a lesser deity or "patron saint" of dark, coveted secrets, and this belief and worship lent him new power, which may explain how he returned Sylas Briarwood to Delilah Briarwood as a vampire. Chapter 3's plot arc was based around the Briarwoods' ritual for Vecna in the Ziggurat beneath Whitestone.
  • In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, Vecna was a powerful wizard who became a lich (someone who uses magical power to exist in an undead state after death), and eventually achieved godhood. He is a member of the default pantheon of D&D gods (the pantheon of Oerth). Notably, Vecna is missing both his left eye and left hand. Vecna's holy symbol is an eye in the palm of a left hand. Vecna was also named as one of the greatest villains in D&D history by the final issue of Dragon.
  • Vecna is the evil god of darkness, poison, and assassins. Snakes are his favored creation, and the yuan-ti revere him above all other gods.
  • Considered the most powerful and evilist lich in history, Vecna rose to godhood, becoming the god of secrets. He is known as the Master of All that is Secret and Hidden, the Arch-Lich, the Chained God, the Maimed God, Master of the Spider Throne, the Whispered One, the Dying King, the Lord of the Rotted Tower, the Undying King. His weapon of choice is a dagger. Vecna seeks to supplant the other gods, and rule over the universe. For this, he is feared and hated by the other gods. So feared is Vecna that worship of him is punishable by death.

Znany z dokonania wielu spektakularnych dokonań jak np. ucieczka z więzienia na półplanie grozy, wdarcie się do Sigil jako bóstwo (normalnie dostęp do miasta jest zablokowany przez Panią Bólu), odcięcie się od bogów Oerthu. Spróbował stać się najpotężniejszym bogiem i przewrócić porządek świata, lecz został powstrzymany przez grupkę śmiałków. Ostatecznie został pomniejszym bóstwem.
  • Although he is just about the highest level spellcaster one will see in SLASH'EM (only Dispater, Orcus, and the dreaded Demogorgon have a higher base level), Vecna is nowhere near as tough as one might think. He is somewhat slow, and has only one spellcasting attack. His main weakness, though, comes from the design of his level; it has no up staircase at all. Being covetous, Vecna will teleport to meet you. Since there is no up staircase, he will not warp away like most covetous monsters, but will continue to teleport to meet you, even as his hit points drop. Elbereth, which he respects, is a must when fighting him, since his high base level means that his psi bolt spells will do immense amounts of damage. Additionally, one does need a +4 weapon to damage him at all. However, with a perman
  • Vecna is the evil god of secrets, the undead and necromancy. He is usually depicted as a mummified, desiccated corpse missing his left hand and left eye. His many titles include the Arch-Lich, the Maimed God and the Whispered One. He was first introduced in the World of Greyhawk D&D setting. Ioun is often considered to be Vecna's antithesis, because she wishes to share with the world all the knowledge that Vecna would rather keep secret.
  • thumb|200px|right|Szkic przedstawiający Vecnę Vecna - Nieumarły bóg z Greyhawka. Był potężnym liczem, władcą flańskiego królestwa, który tysiące lat przed oficjalną linią wydarzeń świata Greyhawk stał się bogiem. Został pochłonięty przez Mgły i uwięziony na Półplanie Grozy. Udało mu się uciec, ale żeby ustrzec się przed ponownym wciągnięciem do Ravenloftu, musiał stać się bogiem. Wykorzystał pewien planarny efekt, by dostać się do Sigil (bogowie i półbogowie normalnie nie mają tam wstępu, gdyż miasto ochrania Pani Bólu). Odciął innych bogów od Oerthu, sam chciał się stać najpotężniejszym bogiem tego świata. Jego plany zostały pokrzyżowane przez grupę poszukiwaczy przygód (użyli artefaktów stworzonych przez Vecnę, by go pokonać). Ostatecznie Vecna uzyskał boskość, ale jest jedynie pomniejsz
