Fromdrow ranger Drizzt Do’Urdento the Harpers, heroes have been contemplated.
But the right villain forThe Forgotten Realmsisn’t quite as well-known to most fantasy fans.
TheDungeons & Dragonsmoviesoffered the world a snarling Jeremy Irons as the evil Mage Profion, opposing Empress Savina.
The new show’s team will have already executed their Vecna idea, and very well at that.
WhileTheLegend of Vox Machinaseason 3 teased the Whispered One,Stranger ThingsandThe Forgotten Realmsshare some crew.
This makes it even more likely thatThe Forgotten Realmswon’t repeatStranger Things’villain.
Wizards of the Coast also released a popularTomb of Annihilationboard game.
This strand of familiarity could increase engagement, interest, and viewership.
Although, the show is bound to invent a lot of original characters and arcs.
Acererak would fit this bill, occupying a big season 1 plotline.
This could preclude some spy-thriller-style arcs or episodes.
Acererak appeared to rescue Vecna from certain defeat when he was attacked by Pelor, the Oerthian god.
TheDungeons & Dragonsfranchise is a fantasy adventure series based on the iconic tabletop role-playing game.
