Am I misunderstanding they said that Vecna was somehow tied into the obelisks? Did I miss it in the EoR campaign read through I did? Does it mean there’s yet another adventure to be released to actually explain them?
From what I can tell, he doesn't really have much connection to them except that he stole one. There has been a sidebar in a few adventures which explains that they are basically just ancient magic artifacts created by an extinct race. They allow teleportation or travel in time. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Black_obelisk
Vecna could use them for some plot of his but ultimately if there is any secret behind their creation or original purpose it's do with the weavers not Vecna.
Maybe they escaped some where and could return
Maybe the obelisks hold back a far realm entity or are used to summon them
So…

No I know how they’ve been used, it’s just not what had been teased by the designers leading up to this adventure being released.
If that's the case there were similar complaints about the shattered obelisk campaign. It seems to be a trend.
