Vecna has evolved in his nearly 50 year history from a whisper of a legend in original D&D to the most powerful villain in the DnD 5e multiverse. We look back at the evolution of Vecna lore, from his obscure beginnings in OD&D to his godhood and status as the ultimate multiversal threat in Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons.
Beginning with the appearance of the Hand and Eye of Vecna in the original DnD supplement "Eldritch Wizardry," through his betrayal by Kas the Bloody-Handed, his banishment to Ravenloft, his appearance on Critical Role, and his coming rise in Vecna: Eve of Ruin, we trace the villain's history and tell his full story as it stands today.
