| And Bane didn't take everything back. Cyric still holds the Strife portfolio. |

| Cherrn, Bane has the portfolio of Strife. That's why their Banites who are in a prestige class called Strifeleaders. |

That was an error in the book DDH_101. Wizards corrected that in their errata for the FRCS. It can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/frcserrata.zip
Read page 3 and it says:
P. 235, Bane's Portfolio
Cut "Strife" and capitalize "Hatred"
P. 235, Cyric's Portfolio
Add "Strife"
And finally:
P. 239, Add "Strife: to Cyric's portfolio
So Cyric now correctly holds the portfolio of Strife.
(edit cos of the info I found) |

Wow, it's almost as if that was timed to happen just as a gaming company was releasing a new edition of a product.  |

Now I think all we need is for Myrkul to come out of that crown and take the portfolio of evil death and undead creatures.  |

And they need to remove that idiot Velsharoon. He serves no purpose whatsoever. Intelligent undead pah! If I was an intelligent undead I wouldn't worship any gods at all cos then I would end up living forever and I wouldn't have to fear that blasted wall in the City of Dead. Velsharoon pah! Pah I say!    |

| I don't think Myrkul will return. After all, it's said that he enjoys being in the crown more than as a deity. Also, I don't think Kelemvor would even allow Myrkul to fight for the position as the Lord of the Dead. |

Myrkul never left my FR campaign. Instead, among the several changes that I brought about with the end of the Time of Troubles , I saw to it that instead of Myrkul ceasing to exist, I decided to reduce him in power to a 'Lesser' deity status, with control of the portfolios of undead and the 'death' of undead evil creatures.

| Yes he should. As much as I like Bane it does seem a lot like Bane was brought back due to popular demand. Kind of sad really. They didn't bring Chewbacca back when he was killed during the Star Wars storyline did they ? |

Well given Lucas' revisionist policy towards creative works, I'm sure he will be back in some shape or form sometime in the future.
As for Bane, I think it's a combination of demand for him to return coupled with a new edition was coming out. That god is unique: killed during the Time of Troubles which was the big FR 2E Mega-Event for the new version, and then he returned as one of the big FR 3E Events for the new version. If I was Bane and I heard that 4E was on the horizon, I'd update my life insurance policy. |

| Sirius, I don't think anything is going to happen to Bane. In fact, I don't think there's going to be much about gods in the near future because I've read that Ed Greenwood and the others aren't going to make another Times of Trouble and don't even want to mess around with the gods' portfolios. They think that it's good and balanced just as it is right now. |

Oh I agree and apologize if the facetious comment was taken seriously. If I recall Ed Greenwood wasn't a fan of the Time of Troubles. Didn't it never happen in his own campaign?
Good and balanced now as it is? There goes my hope that the Spider Queen might diminish a bit in power at the WOTSQ conclusion. |

| Actually, I think Lloth's power over the drow might diminish a bit. I'm not saying her godly powers, just her dominance over the drow race as the main god. After Lloth's silence, other drow gods such as Vhaerun and Kiralansee might gain more followers and power. |
