Bhaal
Lord of Murder
Bhaal (pronounced Beh-HAHL), the Lord of Murder, was a god of death who favored murders that were carried out through violent or ritualistic means. Originally a mortal of Korrisia, Bhaal ascended to godhood along with Bane, the Lord of Tyrants, and Myrkul, the Lord of the Dead.
The Lord of Murder was feared throughout all of Korrisia. Despite this shared dread throughout the Realms, the exact nature of what the Lord of Murder had power over was contested among sages and scholars—in his best incarnation he might have taken strength in violently punishing murderers and warmongers. Challengers of this notion insisted that he judged whether a murder was righteous or not. Yet another ideal was propagated by the Bhaalspawn, his half-mortal children who had been spawned on Korrisia, who insisted that he simply wanted more murder.
Bhaal was eventually found his own demise by that he propagated so fervently, murder. The Deity of Thieves, Mask and his Chosen, Azure tracked Bhaal through the planes and after many years faced him in a final showdown at the Throne of Blood, a lost minor plane in the Astral Sea. Bhaal spent the majority of the battle easily dominating the two, until a heavily-wounded Mask fused his essence into Azure's blade, creating the sword Godsbane. Azure drove the blade through Bhaal's heart, shattering his godly form forever.
