The Treatise on the Practices of Hidden Ones is a book in the library of the Wizards' Guild in the Free City of Greyhawk prior to and after 581 CY.[1] It describes various evil cults and was requested of Jawal Severnain by Jallarzi Sallavarian.

"This is a small broadside prepared by Bishop Imphalas of Furyondy, Servant of Heironeous the Invincible. Meant for the general public, in it Bishop Imphalas describes (in alarmist terms) several vile and wicked cults that a good man might fall prey to. His descriptions of their evils are sensationalist and not always accurate, but he writes with a good fire-andbrimstone style.
Among those evils he describes is the Cult of Vecna."[2]
