Threads on various deities (especially the Burning Hate threads) have recently prompted me to try looking at various deities in a different light. My most recent project has me thinking: is there any way Vecna could be (or at least seem to be) a good deity?
I know it's a stretch, but I'm trying to think of flawed logic, phrases, etc. that could paint Vecna as good. All I have so far is things like "His eye is on us all," and "All secrets are safe with him." I know it's not much of a start, but I'm hoping the Playgrounders can help out.
Also, I'm looking for events in Vecna's history that can be spun. His betrayal by Khass has a very Judas-like feel to it.
