What's cool about Bane's FR backstory is that it really just seems like a DND campaign.
Three adventurers set out to kill the god of death! How heroic is that? They end up a little murderhobo-esque on the way. The god of death says, sure, you can't kill me, but you can have my death powers. Great! The DM scales up the power level of the campaign, and the adventuring party now has to deal with the politics of gods. Screw that, they say - let's pull off a heist! They steal the Tablets. Of course the DM decides there are massive repercussions, and maybe regrets elevating the game to god tier, so... oops! Back down to mortal form you go, unless you can complete another very specific quest.
It honestly sounds like trying to burn a fire elemental to death
@@anidiot7247 except that's possible
Bane: Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!
I don't usually comment but I just need to express my gratitude to you for making these videos. I have always played in my own homebrewn settings but has always wondered what it would be like to play in the forgotten realms. With these videos im able to actually do just that and create new stuff in/flavor my own forgotten realms. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to be able to utilize the forgotten realms
Thanks for watching! I'm happy they're a resource for you :D
Marcus Fosberg same dude, I've made 2 camps based on his vid
Read Tymora's Luck, tells you all about Lathandar, Tyche, Tymora and Beshaba and a bit of what happened then.
Thank you for these videos! I am always looking forward to them!Actually, your dedication to researching lore has inspired me to do my own research on the God my character worships. It was fun looking through old manuals and sourcebooks but also a bit time consuming, so kudos to you again for all the work you do!
Just a fun little fact I learned from the Brimstone Angels series, there is a common curse/swear/phrase of "Beshaba shit in my eyes!", for when things really don't go your way.
Love it. A lot of good info here. What's up with evil gods being like "Worship me and I'll do you a favor by not killing you"?
It's very ancient-Catholic-church, I think
Edgy...
Man, I eagerly wait for theses vids. Big hug from Brazil. Not asking about Ilmater today :)
Hi, love your vids they are awesome and make me read up on Forgotten Realms Lore. With that, I just want to say @3:52 you mentioned Beshaba spawned during the Dawn Cataclysm but I recently found a passage from AD&D's Faith and Avatars and on pg. 44 it goes into detail about how Beshaba was created. Anyway, love the work and thanks!
"Rotten Luck
Before the Dawn Cataclysm, there was but one goddess of luck, Tyche.
Ever flirting with fortune and disaster, Lady Luck bestowed and withdrew
her favor at a whim. After eons of toying with the affections of various
powers, Tyche found herself embroiled, along with the rest of her circle of
deities, in a war between the gods resulting from the actions of a current paramour, Lathander.
Always fickle with her favors, Tyche kissed the Morninglord
with misfortune and wandered off to explore the Realms.
During her travels, Lady Luck discovered a budding rose of unequaled
beauty. Delighted with this fortuitous happenstance, Tyche reached to pluck
this delightful token, which she assumed was a peace overture from Lathander,
who sought to regain her good graces. Much to her amazement, Lady Luck
could not pluck the rose from its bush no matter how hard she tried. Frustrated,
she cursed the rose with bad luck, and flower's stem broke in her hands.
Carelessly, Tyche stuck the plucked rose behind her ear and continued on her way.
Unbeknownst to Tyche, the rose was a manifestation of Moander, god of
corruption and decay. The severed rose stem crept into Tyche's ear and subtly
began to rot her from the inside out. Lady Luck now suffered from misfortune,
and it sprang from her own careless hand.
When Tyche returned home, she came across her dear friend, the goddess
Selune, waiting to speak with her. Also waiting for her were Lathander, who
wished to regain her affections, and Azuth, who had come to mediate the dispute between the two.
Selune wept great tears as she saw the corruption destroying her friend from within, and before Tyche could even intuit her intent,
Selune lashed out with a bolt of purifying light.
Tyche's rotted core split right down the middle and a smaller, brighter version of the goddess of luck stepped
out, allowing the goddess of the moon to save that which was good and pure in
her friend. However, following this first figure from the rotten external shell was
another form stunning to behold, but full of dark malice and capricious ill will. As
the two emerged, they immediately fell upon each other in hate, struggling
madly, and were only separated by the combined efforts of all three visitors.
It is said that Tymora, Tyche's Fair-Haired Daughter, embodies all the grace
and kindness of her mother, while Beshaba, Tyches Unpleasant Daughter, got
only her looks. Since their birth, the twin aspects of Tyche-Tymora, Lady Luck,
and Beshaba, Maid of Misfortune-have battled each other in a civil war that
continues to this day."
Thanks for the info!
Cyric took Baal's portfolio, murder and madness, and later took Myrkul's Bone Castle, but he also took some of strife as well (he stole a laundry list of portfolio's before fucking everything up to make the spellplague)
Yes! I've been searching for a video about Beshaba! Should have known you already had one.
thanks for another great video. i hadnt heard about bane's role in the primordial war.
im behind on your videos, but really hoping you do one on Shaundakul, the Rider of the Winds
Xvim or Bane used to Trick Lathander to combine the split Beshaba & Tymora into Tyche once again.
But it was stopped by priest of wyvernspur and priestess of Beshaba and Paladin of Lathander.
A Krynn halfling from dragonlance & Ao from forgotten realm.
it was a messy plancescape novel since they travel from heaven to sigil to abyss to heaven again.
it only make sense if you read the long Finder wyvernspur series from mortal to godhood.
and you get to see Beshaba, Tymora, Lathander in their person. Which is a.. pretty neat.
3:00 "Evil always finds a way"
Jorphdan the best D&d youtuber.
Thanks :)
This chunk of the FR mythos desperately needs a timeline, XKCD style. :) Loving these two-fers, sir.
I actually like Beshaba, she doesn't need to have too much information for her to be interesting. In fact, despite her darker disposition, I see her as less of an evil deity and more of a primal force - respect it and you can get on with your life all the better, but ignore it or, worse, shrug it off and belittle it and it might come back to bite you in the butt. Concepts like that make for great deities IMO.
YES! My current PC worships both of these two and I was afraid that it would be many more videos before you got to them. And what are the chances you did them both in the same video even? Thank You!
Saw that you uploaded a new video and was happy! Then saw it covered bane and made popcorn!
I was cursed by Beshaba last night in my solo campaign.
Welp, time to devote my life to her.
Thanks for the Beshaba vid!
Ok, something funny that happened yesterday evening after I watched this video:
In the evening I had the game session and we discovered that the current villains of our campign are a bunch pf Beshaba cultists. XD And this happened no more than a couple of hours after I watched this video. XD
It was all planned I swear :)
Great vid as usual
In a campaign I'm in my character is actually the son of beshaba. Due to her nature she made it so he cannot fully control his magic, making him a wild magic sorcerer. Recently however she seems to have come to liking and wanting to protect her son going as far as to even change the mage armour boost to charisma for his casting.
The quote of Delphine of Last Exile
Loving your videos Jorphdan! Would love a video on the War of the Silver Marches!
Sounds like a good topic, I'll add it to my list of potentials :)
I'd love to play a Cleric or Paladin of Beshaba. So every time I roll a Nat 1, my character can exalt their Goddes.
Example:
**Rolls Nat 1**
My PC: "Ah, my Mistress is taking notice of me. How Splendid!!"
Just came back to watch some of the classic Jorphdan videos, because I pulled a card from the Deck of Many Things, and my halfling paladin of Tymora got her alignement switched, so now she is a paladin of Beshaba lol
YESS! lol good luck!
@@Jorphdan There is no luck, we are only spared of Beshaba's wrath lol
I don't understand. Initially I thought the FR were just a setting, while the core D&D lore was another one completely. Then, at the start of this series, it was told that the core setting of D&D were indeed the FR.
And now the core D&D setting and the FR setting are two different entities again. I'm confused ^^`
So basically... Beshaba clerics are Nagito Komaeda.
Very helpful :)
Beshaba 3:32
All this LotR art 😂
Can you please do a video on the prmortiales.
Oh man please do a video on Helm!
YES! ALL HAIL BANE!!!
Why doesn't everyone just stop praying to Beshaba?
Do a video about Hruggek and memnor
so Zim is the son of a god of Strife? Explains how he manages to make the lives of everyone around him awful in the show-
Love it
I think its meant to be pronounced like "akra" as in the Sitra Achra, but i could be wrong. Just figured as much cause he's evil
So do you get to reroll Crit fails as. A beshaba follower?
Anybody see some similarities between Bane the god and Darth Bane from starwars?
Besides the name I fail to see any similarities
Is Kelemvor still around?
Yep he's currently a deity in 5th edition DnD
READ TYMORA'S LUCK! IT'S AWESOME!
We sure Achra is pronounced A-Chrah and not Ahkra? Its cool either way but the spelling seems to indicate the second pronunciation, granted the folks writing this fluff can decide it sounds any which way they want.
not 100% sure, I'm terrible with the pronunciations =/
All good. Its nit picky, I love your channel so an occasional mispronunciation shouldn't be cause for annoyance.
Random question: is Santa a god ?
