===c. [[-222 CY]]===

* '''Hand of Vecna first appears in the Flanaess.''' 136 years after the fall of Vecna, the first recorded appearance of his hand is made when clan leader [[Paddin the Vain]] uses the Hand of Vecna to start the [[Insurrection of the Yaheetes]]. The Aerdi later crush the insurrection. (Book of Artifacts p.35; AD&D 2e revised DMG p.126)
** ''LGG p.64 suggests Vecna's empire fell c. [[-358 CY]], which would give a date around -222 CY for the Hand's appearance, possibly up to a number of years later. Book of Artifacts has the insurrection put down by the "Emperor of the Malachite Throne", which may suggest the much later Great Kingdom of Aerdy (est. [[-110 CY]]) or office of Overking (est. [[1 CY]]). However, the original Kingdom of Aerdy was founded around this year, and they would spend the following decades in conquest, giving casus belli for an insurrection of a local Flan or Oeridian tribe.
