[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8429798, member: 6779196"] Love it. I play up the rivalry between the Raven Queen in a slightly different way for my homebrew setting that takes its cues from Nentir Vale. Although my Vecna stand-in doesn’t have a name. He’s known as the Undying King. He and the Raven Queen are of course both former mortals who attained immortality through mastery of necromancy and struck their names from history (perhaps implying that the latter might be a necessary step to achieving the former?) But they came at it from opposite angles. The Undying King delved into the darkest secrets of the cosmos in a desperate bid to escape death - he is ultimately motivated by fear of death, whereas The Raven Queen is motivated by duty. She slew the previous god of death because he was failing to fulfill the responsibility of the role and took it upon herself because she recognized the necessity of death. I can’t really see my Undying King trying to usurp the Raven Queen because her role embodies that which he fears most. [/QUOTE]
