Message: <blockquote data-quote="Veltharis ap Rylix" data-source="post: 9410150" data-attributes="member: 66357">[SPOILER="Wild Beyond the Witchlight (5e), Vecna: Eve of Ruin (5e), and Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (3.5e)"]Personally, I like the idea of there being three versions of "Tasha" running around the multiverse.We know the "present" version of her is the archfey Zybilna seen in Witchlight and Eve of Ruin gives us a much younger, pre-Iggwilv version of Tasha seemingly operating more or less independently of her incarnation in the Feywild.While neither Witchlight Zybilna nor Eve of Ruin Tasha really play into her more overtly evil "Iggwilv" persona, they don't really deny that that aspect of her ever existed either, and between the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth in Infinite Staircase and the Greyhawk setting guide in the upcoming '24 DMG, it seems to me like they could easily introduce a book in the next few years that incorporates Iggwilv proper, whether it be as a character (not necessarily villain) in a Greyhawk-centric adventure module or as the author of a Fizban/Bigby-style deep dive book on fiends (or just the one covering demons, if they think there's enough to split them up Fiendish Codex-style).Wouldn't even be all that hard - while Zybilna seemingly wants to erase/forget that part of herself, the 3.5e module Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk had a simulacrum of Iggwilv as its primary villain, initially created in secret by another wizard as a weapon against her son Iuz, gradually manipulating her way free from her creator's control, and ultimately attempting to use a powerful artifact deep beneath Castle Greyhawk to transform herself into a fully "real" version of Iggwilv, equal in all ways to the original.Even if some of the specifics need to be reworked due to 5e Greyhawk having its timeline rolled back, they could easily take that general plot framework to create an active Iggwilv independent from both her Zybilna and Tasha incarnations, resulting in all three existing simultaneously as a sort of tripartite witch queen.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
