So that's who was behind that OGL thing a few weeks ago...Clearly, Vecna is using the power of the obkisks to break into Earth proper (our world) and then rewrite the OD&D rules so that he can never be defeated in his home multiverse.
I’d bet any money that they won’t do this. I loathed the whole spellplague business as much as anyone, but it’s settled now, FR is in a quasi-status quo ante state, and I don’t think anyone at WotC will be wanting to rake over that old wound. It’s very clear that WotC aren’t really in the world building business any more.Maybe they plan to undo the 4th edition time jump and the Spellplague for the Forgotten Realms? And, since I think they plan to release a Greyhawk book next year, maybe they plan to undo the semi-unpopular Greyhawk Wars alterations?
Or maybe he already did (see: rebooted Ravenloft, rebooted Spelljammer, etc...)I'm betting Vecna will use the Obelisks to "reset" the timeline of all D&D worlds, so the next edition lore can start from a blank state, since RotFM says he used it to erase the Weavers from existence, and you can reset the timeline to before Karsu's Folly with the one present in the adventure.
I you sure there aren’t any in Witchlight?I think the Obelisks are in everybpublished Adventure storyline prior to Witchlight in 2021.
