Mok'slyk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game, Mok'slyk is an old Flan (Greyhawk) name for an entity known as the Serpent, believed to be the personification of arcane magic. The Serpent is said to be a member of a group of entities known as the Ancient Brethren, which though similar to gods, are not exactly gods, though some beings honor them as such. The Lady of Pain is also said to belong, or to have once belonged to this group, and supposedly Vecna is a descendant of the Ancient Brethren.

The Serpent is believed to have personally instructed Vecna in the ways of magic. Vecna's mother, Mazzel, told her son that the Serpent gains its power by devouring the souls of those who honor it.
