I mean, I expect Vecna has assembled his anti-Avengers, including Strahd and Soth as well.

I notice that two of the special minis are "Warforged Blades," ao the Lord of Blades might be the Eberron Big Bad?

Also, Soul Coin and a casino token?

That makes sense, given Miska's history with the Rod. The fun part happens when they inevitably betray each other once the Rod is assembled, or about to be...

Well the Story with Miska is that he's trapped in Pandemonium in a massive cocoon of law energy that was created by the Rod when it stabbed him and weakened him enough that he can't escape it. To get back to full power he needs to touch the completed Rod. One piece of the Rod is normally kept by Miska in the original adventure.

The citadel spider preview makes me really feel that Lolth will be given a fairly large role in this! Between that and the art of her shown previously, it makes me feel she'll finally get a stat block, possibly!

Maybe she feels threatened because spiders are her thing, and this past Prince of Demons coming back means she will lose dominion of her favorite pets. 😆

The Beadle and Grim website has these minis included with their Platinum Edition. I'm assuming that the Black Rose Bearer and Warforged Blade are from Dragonlance and Eberron, respectively. Any idea what a Moonlight Guardian might be? Possibly connected to the Gates of the Moon?
