In this year[edit timeline]

Around this year[edit timeline]

  • Hand of Vecna first appears in the Flanaess. 136 years after the fall of Vecna, the first recorded appearance of his hand is made when clan leader Paddin the Vain uses the Hand of Vecna to start the Insurrection of the Yaheetes. The Aerdi later crush the insurrection. (Book of Artifacts p.35; AD&D 2e revised DMG p.126)
    • LGG p.64 suggests Vecna's empire fell c. -358 CY, which would give a date around -222 CY for the Hand's appearance, possibly up to a number of years later. Book of Artifacts has the insurrection put down by the "Emperor of the Malachite Throne", which may suggest either the much later Great Kingdom of Aerdy (est. -110 CY) or the office of Overking (est. 1 CY). However, the original Kingdom of Aerdy was founded around this year, and they would spend the following decades in conquest, giving casus belli for an insurrection of a local Flan or Oeridian tribe.
