“ | Hear the holy prophecy of Vecna, Supreme Deity of All the Infinite Spaces and Every Space Between. Says the Lord: You cannot and will not reach me with malice in your heart; I will not allow it. I know your thoughts as you think them, for I have become a true god. Yet my power now is nothing to that which I am soon to reach, when I reach forth from the very center of multiversal disintegration and reorder the cosmos, according to my whims, from first to last dimension. Those who stand against me will be wiped from existence, as if they had never been. But those who now forswear past allegiance and pledge themselves to the one supreme lord of creation may be brought into the new world. Decide soon, for reality rapidly speeds toward dissolution and my ultimate ascension. | „ |
~ Vecna |
“ | Evil is not an absence of good. It is not a choice... Evil is one of two forces in the cosmos, an agency locked in eternal struggle against its antithesis... Only good and evil exist. And not even a hair's width of space separates them. | „ |
~ Vecna |
“ | I have but one warning before I leave you to your awakening. Resist not the truths I and perhaps others record here. Open your mind and heart to the knowledge contained on these pages. Only then will you understand and receive the wisdom darkness can provide... Embrace the lore and spurn the light, and you too shall ever after walk in darkness. | „ |

Weaknesses:
Note: While Vecna theoretically should have a key for when he was a mortal being, the reason why he doesn't is due to how his backstory is shrouded in mystery and contradictions. This is because whoever is running the campaign has the freedom of being allowed to write his story for the campaign.
