The Church (or Cult, depending upon the circumstances) of Vecna are worshipers of the demi-god Vecna. In his domain of Cavitius, Vecna's church was the state religion, centered around The Temple of Vecna in Citadel Cavitius. Elsewhere, such as on Vecna's homeworld of Oerth, Vecna's worship is typically confined to hidden cults.
Within Ravenloft
Official sources for the Ravenloft campaign setting mostly mention it with regard to the Burning Peaks cluster. As previously mentioned, it operated unusually out in the open in Cavitius, where as previously it is the state religion. A hidden cult also operated in Tovag, where it was led by Vocar the Obedient, a fugitive highly sought by the Daggers.
Within Cavitius, only members of Vecna's faith are allowed to use magic, practicing the magical arts otherwise is punishable by death.[1] As Cavitius is a theocracy, the clergy can count on the aid of the Fingers of Vecna, Vecna's soldiers, to help enforce the power of the clergy. On the other hand, the clergy must obey the commands of the Hand and the Eye, two unique, intelligent flesh golems created by Vecna.[2]
