The Strife Emperor

Bane, The Strife Emperor is the evil god of war and conquest. He is worshiped by those that seek to subjugate others through violence. He corrupted an ancient race of humanoids into what we now know as Goblinoids. Bane plots his conquest of the planes from within the bastion of Banehold, towering among the blood-soaked battlefields of Acheron. Bane is often depicted as a brutish, ogre-like man clad from head to toe in jagged black armor. Heads dangle from his belt, and the shadows that obscure his helmeted face do not hide his yellow eyes. The Strife Emperor’s greatest enemy is Melora, who defeated him at Rifenmist during the Calamity. The Strife Emperor grew his armies by corrupting noble creatures into monsters and destroying the wilds to fuel his terrible engines of conflict, and the two deities clashed many times during the war before his defeat at Beynsfal Plateau.
