Yes. The “real Santa” is a demigod safeguarding the Earth in his own way. Elminster and Santa spent an evening drinking and talking. With the result that from then on, Christmases for some folk on Earth included much better cheeses in their stockings.

@TheEdVerse given according to you, Elminster has from time to time pretended to be santa when visiting earth around that time of year, has he ever run into the real santa?, since historically in dnd he does exist to the point he had a statblock by wizards of the coast in 3.5e

Oh, dear. The hand will slowly (over a matter of hours) turn on your wrist to line up with the rest of your body in the usual way. However, in so fusing your stump to the Hand, you have allowed Vecna into your mind in a limited way: he can see what you see, hear...

@TheEdVerse what happens if you attune to the hand of vecna with the hand on backwards? Does it correct itself, does it stay backwards, a third thing?
