Publishing History
The demon lord Verin has his origins in Gary Gygax's Gord novels. In Sea of Death, Come Endless Darkness, and Dance of Demons, Graz'zt is served by a demon lord named Vuron, who is as hyper-intelligent as he was evil. Vuron's patience and forethought contributes to Graz'zt's success, and he is thus regarded as unlike any of the other demons of the Abyss.
Vuron was equated by fans of the game with Verin, who in turn, was one of the many demon lords listed in the first edition Monster Manual II. In the Planescape supplement Faces of Evil: The Fiends, Verin has been canonically and officially designated as a demon lord who serves Graz'zt.
Upon the publishing of Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss in the game's third edition, Verin is the so-called Voice of Graz'zt.

Famous quotes containing the words publishing and/or history:
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
