Well, that's true. I just don't think he would so blatantly rip off another body of work. But in saying that he may well have been inspired. Vecna's ascencion is very similar to the Cowl's possible ascension.
Avernite - I always thought the Graiai were just another one of the Mother's mantles myself. But who knows?
Oh, I think so too, now - but the question to me is more, did the Graiai
