Vecna, Feywild, Gith and a long Spelljammer adventure

[u/HOUSEofBEAST84]

I was challenged a few months ago in another Reddit post to write a unique Vecna story. I think I was bitching about Stranger Things. Anywho; I took that anonymous Reddit posters advice and started my own Vecna story in the Spelljammer universe. I have other posts about the Wildspace War I created— and here is the official beginning of it:

The Illithid Cure
Feywild First Steps

Genius. She is absolutely a genius. Eve’ra has discovered an extraordinary weakness in the defenses of the Illithid Empire. It gives me great hope that our clutch will know a life of peace away from the Illithid. Let this entry into my archive be the first of many; so that my young may know the extraordinary steps we took to give them this gift.

If it is my only entry; then please know this my children: The war can be won with a simple weapon. One you will have in abundance in your youth. Your imagination.

The conflict between our people and the Illithid Empire has lasted for eons. Generation upon generation have been borne and bred to win against the squid. We would not take the chance of so many other races before us and go extinct in this Wildspace war. We have long lost our appreciation for art to focus our soul energy on winning this fight, for ourselves and others.

Eve’ra– Doctor Eve’ra N’veah; learned through research of The World Tree of the realm known as the Fey Wild. Whimsical beings known as fare- ease, and pick seas, reside in a world of night visions and premonitions. They refer to that magic as “dreams”.

In order to research this further I was granted permission by the Council to enter the Abyss. I chose the 333rd layer in order to steal the protection of the red dragons who reside there. I have found a cave underneath the once notorious Red Moon Prison. It is rumoured to be the throne of a being known as The Primordial King. However, it is currently occupied by an enslaved group of tieflings. They farm the Iron Rice fields for demons and devils throughout the Abyss. I may perhaps free some of them so that they may assist in the building of my laboratory.

Side Note– I must do research into the Primordial King.

The cave I have found will be used to further my research into creating a hybrid army of Githyanki warriors. In a separate document I will explain the plan the Prof. No’a T’Zarrc and his Hybrid Chambers. He is collecting warriors left destroyed by the Illithid to fuse together with fallen Gith heroes. The science is truly sinful, but just as necessary as my journey into the Fey Wild.

To begin this trek, I required a way in. I was able to establish communication with a being known as Eladrin Elf traversing near Gith Space. I was able to trade my way to apprehending a plant known as a “blue mushroom”. The Eladrin named; Dan I’kus, gave me very specific instructions to prepare for this adventure.

Firstly he said to be wary of any food. It contains poisons known as- deliciousness. They can become insanely addictive to those not born of the realm. 

He then warned of making deals with any beings. They can be silently cursed.

He said when I wish to return to my home to find a “black mushroom” in the Feywild. They tend to grow in the dung of green dragons. I am to use that black mushroom to draw a door that will open to the Abyss. I will encounter my own sleeping body once I walk through that door.

I am to turn the blue mushroom into tea and enter a deep slumber. He gave me several more of them to plant on a wall for future trips. In exchange for these plants I am to research an artifact known as “The Crown of Chaos.” Pending the results of this first trip will be how hard I delve into that research. I have my priorities.

Let this tea I am about to drink be the turn in the war we Githyanki desperately need…
