Ascension of a New God

Celestial / Cosmic

The arch-lich Vecna once again pressed the limits of arcane power. For only the second time in the history of the world, he, a mortal, attained the power of a god. Vecna sought then to gather worshippers and expand his power, but was ultimately thwarted by a brave band of adventurers.

The arch-lich Vecna once again pressed the limits of arcane power. For only the second time in the history of the world, he, a mortal, attained the power of a god. Vecna sought then to gather worshippers and expand his power, while the Prime Deities sought to defeat him as the Betrayer Gods were once defeated.   Unlike during the last war, the Divine Gate now stands as a barrier between the Prime Deities and the newly ascended Vecna, who came to power on the mortal side of the gate. It seems that the responsibility for his banishment will therefore fall upon a select few mortal champions, bearing the gifts of their gods from across the Divine Gate.   Vox Machina, guided by blessings from Ioun, Pelor, Sarenrae, and the Raven Queen, took it upon themselves to confront and seal away Vecna. Atop his tower in the moving city of Thar Amphala, as Vecna led yet another assault against Vasselheim, they confronted the new god. By enacting the same rites of banishment that were used to seal away the Chained Oblivion, they successfully exiled him from the Prime Material Plane.   As a young god who was not able to fully realize his power before being banished, it is unknown how much influence Vecna will now wield.
