    Vecna's Ascension Recognized
    Life, Supernatural

    A resurgence in necromancy interest has sparked scattered cults infatuated with the topic and are invigorated by gaining the ability to cast necromantic spells by praying to Vecna.  Those too-open about it are put the fire or guillotine.  Other churches in the predominant New Gods Pantheon are loath to admit it, but Vecna is confirmed to be a deity through divination by the highest level of clergy in the churches of Pelor, Pholtus and Heironeous.     Some say the declarations where done to spurn a final holy war against what had only been a lowly necromancy cult, but the declaration also placed Vecna on a legitimate level in the minds of commoners.  To this day many churches fail to acknowledge Vecna as an entity in the pantheon but the common mane would acknowledge him as a deity in the New Gods pantheon.
