Bane

Bane (pronounced bain) is the evil and malicious greater deity of fear, hatred and tyranny. Preffering to plot and scheme, Bane rarely appears to act in a direct manner. His ultimate goal is to eventually control all of Faerûn.

Worshipers
Worshipers of Bane seek power in nearly every station of life, with the aim of one day turning it over to the Black Lord. Clerics of Bane pray for their spells at midnight.

The church of Bane has increased greatly in recent history due to his return. With this he has gained nearly all the worshipers of Iyachtu Xvim, his half-demon son, as well as some of Cyric.

Relationships
Since his return, Bane has renewed his alliance with Loviatar, Malar, Mask and Talona. He hates the deities of the Triad as well as Helm, Lathander, Mystra and Oghma. Considering their history, Bane also feels particular disdain for Cyric as well.
