Dark Doctrines - The Dogma of Bane - Forgotten Realms Lore

The Black Lord, Lord Bane, the Lord of Darkness, the Black Hand, the Dark One.
People who worship Bane are often targeted to be pure evil. No sound reason, just vileness, and spite for the lives of others.
Not so - The Dark One is about power and control. It is about ruling with an iron fist so that no weakness comes into your domain.
Highlights and clarifications on this video:
Most of the information is taken from the first edition book Faiths and Avatars.
It presents a far more logical explanation of how the church works, and why people would join his following. Faiths and Pantheons was also used, but this version of Bane is more warrior-like, trying to unify his power after his return.
I don’t think this type of behavior would be the Bane of 1491 DR.
This video is the perspective of a Black Fang of Bane. So, someone in a mid-tier ranking of a local temple. The evil is underplayed, and the positives are emphasized.
His goal is to recruit you as a follower, not to explain to you the worst parts of the faith.
This is the first episode of a series I hope to make, where I try to portray what a follower of a religion would behave like. - It is not about what the God does or wants, it is about how the followers behave and what they desire.
Tell me, what other faithful would you like to hear about? What faith confuses you?
And as always, follow the holy words of Oghma - "Like, Share, Subscribe."
