Does the Hand of Vecna in Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus mean Vecna is now an FR God too?

[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7808120, member: 7015476"] I could have sworn somewhere that i saw content saying vecna actually has at least a thimble full so to speak of divine influence in/over faerun even though hes not directly there. Possibly but not necessarily in spite of ao. Hes the god of secrets. Shouldnt be too surprised to hear this. Or just simply because ao isnt stopping it. I dont think it was specific. And its probably because his influence is minor. I saw it many many years ago though and never touched it after seeing the vague mention so i dont know much about it. Perhaps there is someone here who remembers a little more about it? There is something injust dont remember the particulars. Furthermore, ao has contemporaries when you widen the scope of your viewing enough and one or more superiors. Vecna is just enough of a shake up figure that it could be conceivanle hes always been part if a bigger plan. Possibly one that is signed off on by someone as high as or higher than ao when you widen the viewing scope of the multiversal lens enough. Hes always been a deity that the normal rules didnt perfectly apply to. At this point when vecnas influemce spreads wider faster or further (even if suntly) than a normal god its not so much a mcguffen as it is part of who vecna is. Which is why although i dont remember where i read about his minor influemce there i was also entirely unsurprised when i saw a minor reference to it. [/QUOTE]
