Bane

Bane (pronounced: /ˈbeɪn/ BAYN) is the Faerunian god of tyrannical oppression, terror, and hate, known across Faerûn as the face of pure evil through malevolent despotism. From his dread plane of Banehold, The Black Hand acted indirectly through worshipers and other agents to achieve his ultimate plan to achieve total domination of all Faerûn.

Death and Resurrection: 1358 DR (slain by Torm) 1372 DR (Resurrected)

...I choose to rule for all eternity as the ultimate tyrant. I can induce hatred and strife at my whim, and all will bow down before me while in my kingdom.

Description

Bane has a dark and shadowy appearance resembling dark armor and his jeweled, dark gauntlet. An aura of vast power and cruel intelligence emanates from him .

Personality

Bane is a malevolent and brutal deity who distances himself from mortals, preferring to reign over his followers from afar. He savored the terror he instilled in others and the hatred that formed in mortals' hearts, utilizing this strife to gain greater control over the Realms.

Worshipers

Among the evil gods, Bane's church is among the most stable and powerful. His church was no less ruthless than that of Cyric or Shar and it obeys a strict hierarchy from the most powerful worshipers to the weakest ones, with the god himself the lord of everything they did. His clerics can be recognized by the black-enameled gauntlet worn on one fist
