Chronicle of Vecna

Found in the Temple of Vecna. The chronicle was written at the height of Vecna’s wicked empire, perhaps a millennia ago. Curiously, the Chronicle does not mention the Eye or the Hand, but goes into detail of major locations that seemed important to Vecna.

Five Major Locations
First Section: Second Section: Third Section: Fourth Section: Fifth Section:
 * “the capitol, feared Arokkia” … “the center, the heart, that city that fed the armies, fields of surplus, a thousand thousand slaves, holy to the Flaen…”
 * “column of black stone, his refuge for thought, where no enemy could advance without warning” … “serviced by a barge issued from the southern shore, over the depths of untold measure.”
 * “a fortress not of stone, but out of sight, well fed by a meandering river, called the Murelless by the stunted folk, approachable by passage meany leagues east and north, a redoubt of last resort to his majesty.”
 * “the sea upon the stars, and there the floating lands his holy temple to the sightless, crawling maw at the edge of the universe” - Dalton says this was the pocket “world” he found, the temple was the pyramid structure you were in.
 * “beyond the smoking, sulfurous mounts, to the lands of the cursed Suel, the invaders, the usurpers and false people, where he devised their justice”

Extra Page
While battling The Twins, Odo Fridtjofson tore out a page from the middle of the book.

The page says that the book was written by command of Kas, who wished to record Vecna's glory for all time, and that the record would be kept in Arrokia, the capitol, for safe keeping. You know that Kas allegedly betrayed Vecna and attacked him at some point. The page also mentions that Kas was beloved of Vecna, and was the recipient of "Vecna's gift", a "mark of loyalty rewarded with a precious ?"

In the 12th year of peace following the the great victory over the southern tribes, the lands under Kas sent urgent pleas for aid. The peoples of the furthest marches were pressing ever closer, their movement as locusts, devouring the land. Only the lack of boats kept them from crossing the Lake of Unknown Depths, and instead the funnelled north and south of Kas's domain, threatening to sunder the empire.

Vecna then made a great host of unnumbered princelings, high and low, of kith and men, and many foreign lowlings who pledged their arms in return for gold and places to carve their mansions. To this Vecna sallied again and again, striking like a coiled viper, always victorious. The enemy, who moved as a river, shivvered from the defeats, reeling from the allied host as it moved through the Stones, at first one place then another a hundred leagues away. Vecna became a worse of immeasurable curses, the source of many lamentations of the Seloise mothers.
