The Vecnaverse

Posted in Eve of Ruin on July 22, 2024 by coyoteandthunder

An unknown number of Exarchs march across different versions of UrUnon, preparing the world for the Unmaking of Vecna. Many souls exist in multiple planar contexts simultaneously. Reality fractions greatly as the threads of all fray, preparing the undead world to come. Riding a wave designed by the Dukes of Aaqa who foretold such an event five thousand years before, at the time of the Rending, when the death of the Dragongod Tiamat heralded a similar cataclysm, the Sworn Singers advance towards an unknown goal. It may be that the location of Vecna, the undying god, is finally revealed when the Bling Singer, the Kodesh Hiyot, the entity known as Chord, assembled the seven gems, and the Singers will have to battle, now armed as Korra is, with the infamous Sword of Kas, or it may be that the Wizards Three have something else in mind that has yet to be revealed, some last, desperate plan. Whatever the final revelation, the mortal consciousness of Korra and Reaylith, so advanced and so warped to cope with and to understand the massive upgrades of experiential arcane power with which they are so imbued, mirrors itself across the psychic landscapes of the world. Meanwhile, Chord is a triangulated anchor, resistant to the normal restraints of the mortal mind, and because of the artificial constitution of the warforged bard, total war has been yet averted. Whatever pieces of the world survive this cosmos-level event will be forever altered as it seems that what the heroes represent now is to save the threads of what was before and to seed the future world with memories of what once was.

07. The Demonweb Pit

The Demonweb Pit of Dolgotha Doom; The ancient Drow matron, appears on this plane as a young dark elf child. Mirroring the deathless move of the lord Vecna, Dolgotha manipulates the Vecnaverse so that she might live forever, reincarnated in spacetime as a youthful, albeit venerable archmage.

The sixth piece of the rod of seven parts, was fed to Ker-Arach. After the Sword of Kas lept from Dolgotha’s hand and was recovered by Korra, the Dragonspider, who attempted to ambush the Sworn Singers from above, folded before their might, and the gem was recovered.

06. The Elven Fort

Encounter one. Session two. Eve of Ruin. The Elven Fort. Sixty feet off the ground, in the leafy canopy of the binwyr trees of the Southern Moonwood, north of Zymorven Hall, four days walk north of Silverymoon. There are seven tree forts, each named for Corollon Larethian’s seven children, the seven sisters of Mystra. The greatest fort is named Quile for Quile Veladorn, who is the mother of the infant Teremini who was lost on the night of seven moons, fifteen years before the advance of the Vecnan army. Teremini was stolen by the assassin twins of the Kelem Jabar, the Wardwalkers, Kuema and Giatha of House Baenre of the drow, the night that Mikai Silverwind was wounded by the Yochlol Yelith through dominating and besetting Raeylith in a mortal kin wounding. After Lord Soth ambushed Korra Red Cloak and stole the dragon egg Drekarvynix, she conciliated the Clan of the Thousand Arrows in time to defend against Vecna’s Unmaking. Driven from the Beastlands to the east, Aunaroch, by the hordes of Vecna’s Exarchs, one horrid creature, the abomination Alcathion. The Clan of orcs, the Clata, is ten thousand orcs; the population of Silverymoon in 1496, one year after the Witchlight War and one year before the migration of the Clata, is thirty thousand elves. Raeylith, now the Unbeset, treats with Korra the Wise words to negotiate a new age of cooperation between the ancient enemies. The advance of the Exarchs of the Deathfold front seems to be something no living system can repel. The military guard of the Clata, the Duskfell, and the Orobein defend the forts of the Seven Sisters. General Raey and Korra Bloodblade with the novel mechanations of the entity called Chord, destroy Alcathion at Quile, stemming the tide unstoppable demonstrated by the Deathfold Front, the Aermosinin.
