Bane, the Strife Emperor
Blood-drenched armies of brutal warriors oft crush their foes in the name of Bane, the evil patron of war and conquest. To serve his will is to accept the call to conflict, seeking lesser people to break and subjugate. Warmongering nations and goblinoid tribes worship the Strife Emperor as they strike out at the world to bend it beneath them. Bane twists all living things to his iron will, forcing even nature itself to bow to his whims.
Bane plots his conquest of the planes from within the bastion of Banehold, towering among the blood-soaked battlefields of Acheron.
Depiction
Bane is often depicted as a brutish, ogre-like man clad from head to toe in jagged black armour. Heads dangle from his belt, and the shadows that obscure his helmeted face do not hide his yellow eyes.
Holy Day
Worshippers of Bane do not have a public holiday but instead offer sacrifices on the battlefield in the name of their god, often flaying the skin or slitting the throat of their adversaries in his name.
Commandments of Bane
- Fear is your ally. Conquer your fear and inspire it in your foes.
- Disorder and rebellion are to be punished severely.
- Combat is the greatest gift, and perfecting your skills to master it is the greatest pursuit.
