Bahamut fights for justice, Kord as a show of strength, Gruumsh for love of carnage, but Bane fights with the world as his prize.  \nThat Bane is a god of darkest ambition, tyrannical and cruel, none can doubt. In his name, thousands die, their blood spilt to nourish the earth, and the smoke of their burning homes thick enough to blot out Pelor’s sun. Yet he is also a god of discipline, order, the rule of law, and the triumph of civilization over the wild. To him even good-hearted soldiers often turn, and in his name do they draw steel. His might is not only that of arms and of overwhelming numbers, but also of iron will, meticulous strategies, and well-trained legions. Bane envisions a world that trembles to the thunder of marching armies—a world that functions beneath a single order: his own.  \nNo other god is like Bane. Gruumsh might give in to his violent instincts, Asmodeus might revel in his growing might, Tiamat might be blinded by her greed, and Vecna might be busy with his obsessions. only Bane, of all the evil gods, believes that what he does is best not only for himself, but for the world—even if the world refuses to acknowledge it.  \nAnd it is this belief that, just perhaps, makes Bane’s evil the most insidious of them all.  \nTM & © 2009 Wizards of the Coast LLC. all rights reserved.  \nFebruary 2 0 0 9 | Dragon 37 2 25  \nC  \ndeities & demigods: bane  \nhiStorieS, legendS, and MythS  \nNo mortal can truly know what motivates the gods or what has occurred in the depths of prehistory. All they can do is read through the religious texts of various faiths and try to piece together a narrative that approximates the truth.  \nThis is one such possible truth.  \nHe had a name, once.  \nWhen he coalesced from the Astral Sea, he was one of three. They were brothers, these gods—inasmuch as beings without parents can be brothers—because their beliefs, their perceptions, and their loves were as one. They were Kord, Tuern, and Achra.  \nFor an age, the brothers competed with a violence that would have destroyed whole worlds, but which they shrugged off as mere exercise, for they loved nothing more than conflict. In their struggles, Kord came to love the thrill of competition; Tuern enjoyed the sight of his foe’s pain; and Achra took pleasure in the dominance, temporary though it was, that his victories earned him.  \nbane vS. bane The bane of the core D&D® setting is not the same god as the bane of the Forgotten realms® setting!  \nOh, there’s substantial conceptual overlap. (The matching names probably clued you in on that.) They serve roughly the same purpose in the pantheons, their religious precepts have a great deal in common, and they make use of similar tactics and servitors.  \nyet their differences are many as well, especially in terms of personal history, behavior, and even appearance. all that follows describes the core bane, and it shouldn’t necessarily apply to the bane of Faerûn.  \nThe War for Creation  \nThe gods looked down from the Astral Sea and saw what the primordials had created. They coveted this world, because they understood how to make it better—though each, perhaps, had a different view of what “better” might mean. Thus did the gods attempt to reshape creation, sparking the greatest war any world has ever seen.  \nAnd for a time, the gods could gain no upper hand against the primordials. The Elemental powers were as mighty as those of the Astral, and the gods’ efforts were disorganized. For every god who sought to organize their forces, such as strict Erathis and dour Moradin, others, such as Gruumsh and he who is now called the Chained God, rejected such notions.  \nEven the brothers, who had practiced war before they knew what war was, could reach no consensus; Kord reveled in the struggle and saw cooperation asa weakness.
