[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9329967, member: 7034611"] when I search for ‘Vecna’ on DDB it does not list Rime, ToA or Netherdeep Planescape has the skull, not sure that really counts as Vecna, but even so that is so recent that they knew about the Vecna adventure at the time. That leaves Phandelver and there he is mentioned in one paragraph in the backstory to the obelisks “A mysterious group called the Weavers created the obelisks to undo great calamities—often by hurling a region or entire world back in time before the calamity occurred. One of these ancient Weaver obelisks appears in [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/idrotf']Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden[/URL]. No one knows anything about the Weavers because the evil wizard Vecna stole the secrets of the obelisks and used them to erase the knowledge of the Weavers from existence. The lore of how to create the artifacts then seeped throughout the world. The most notable obelisk builders were wizards from the now-fallen empire of Netheril.” He is not some evil mastermind pulling the strings in all these adventures he is just some background noise / historical exposition. You are overselling him here, nothing would change in the adventures if he were not mentioned at all. we agree on that ;) [/QUOTE]
