In in the Dungeons and Dragons campaign settings of Ravenloft and Greyhawk, Vecna, is a lich raised to godhood as the deity of secrets and magic. Vecna is also known variously as the Maimed Lord, the Chained God, the Whispered One, Master of the Spider Throne, the God of Secrets,[1] and the Master of All That is Secret and Hidden.

Vecna was formerly the darklord of Cavitius, until his escape in Die Vecna Die. He was served by the The Church of Vecna. He is the eternal enemy of Kas.[2] and Iuz.[1] Since Vecna's failure to take over the multiverse through seizing Sigil, Vecna is also an enemy of the Lady of Pain.[1] Two powerful artifacts, the Hand of Vecna and the Eye of Vecna, were body parts cut from his mortal body by Kas prior to his rise to godhood. He created the Sword of Kas for his former lieutenant Kas.
