Around this year[edit timeline]
- The Eye of Vecna is instrumental in the downfall of House Hyeric, ruling family of Nyrond. (Book of Artifacts p.35)
- The Hand of Vecna appears again in the Flanaess. During the reign of Hamoch of Tyrus, a fisherman discovers the hand and keeps it for several decades until he is murdered by his own brother, who is turn robbed of the Hand by the outlaw Mace. Mace uses the Hand's power to overthrow the city of Tyrus and become its ruler, naming himself Vecna the Second. He rules for 100 years until he is killed by a Yemishite assassin. (Book of Artifacts p.35; AD&D 2e revised DMG p.126)
- The date of these events are not known with precision. A possible date of 290 CY for the rise of Vecna II is suggested by the unofficial Oerth Journal #1, but it could be up to several centuries earlier.
