The Eternal Darkness - Times of Trouble 3rd Cycle Overall Plot

Main Goal:
The three dark gods (Cyric, Shar and Bane) have started the 3rd cycle of the Times of Troubles forcing the gods from the Realmspace (the planes where the gods live) into mortal forms in the Realms. The dark gods have an unified goal of destroying the order of the gods and unseating Ao. With Ao out of the way the dark gods can reform the cosmos into their own warped vision. While the three dark gods are working together to accomplish their mission to unseat Ao, each dark god is working on their own dark goals and desires independent from the others.
