In the World of Greyhawk Campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons Role-playing game, Kas the Bloody-Handed Burgred paid with his own head.
Upon their return, Kas struck against his master, so that he might become the master of the Spidered Throne. In the end, both were slain and good people rejoiced.
It is said that not all of the evil lich was destroyed. So great was his power that his Hand and Eye have lived on, working evil over the centuries. . . . "

Once the supreme master of all undead sorcerers, even today his Hand and Eye are objects of immense power. Now something evil is stirring in the lands around Greyhawk. The Hand and Eye of Vecna have been found - and Vecna wants them back.
