In this 40-page long publication, grey-sages Samuel Weiss and Gary Holian get into a dialogue and make a careful and thorough evaluation, going beyond superficial judgments to delve deep into the published history of of one of the most known, and probably one of the first, liches in the World of Greyhawk.
They talk about who Vecna was and how he got to run a vast empire, the cult that grew around him, what are his relics (not only his notorious hand and eye) and provide an exhaustive historical timeline, from more than a millennia ago to the Common Year "present day". Also, they tells us how (not) to use him in a campaign and why.
A must read to all Greyhawk fans out there, both players and DMs alike!
