![]() Villain Team-Up: The Dead Three were originally an adventuring group.However, all three accepted voluntary demotion to quasi-deities since they did not want to play by the new rules Ao had set forth preventing divine interventions outside specific circumstances, and so all three are technically now corporeal leaders of their own churches. After the events of the Second Sundering, all three were restored to normal, with Myrkul being brought back to life in the process. Bhaal played it straight, turning his 'church' into a cult of assassins. Averted with Bane and Myrkul, who took on some 'legitimate' aspects of their domains (Bane is worshipped as a god of authority and order, and Myrkul as the caretaker of the dead).The Realms might have been better off if he'd taken their challenge.

Character Death: All of them were slain during the Time of Troubles.However, they still are Physical Gods, mind you. Brought Down to Badass: In 5e, they seemingly got downgraded to quasi-deities and cursed to Walk the Earth.Ambition Is Evil: Being gods wasn't enough for them, so they stole artifacts belonging to Ao and kickstarted the Time of Troubles.The Dead Three caused the Time of Troubles by stealing Ao's tablets of fate, a caper that saw all three of them slain by the end. Not a pantheon, but a group of evil humans-turned-into-gods. Top God: His actual title is Overgod, meaning a god of gods.Most such cults tended to suffer misfortune and disband in short order after their creation, indicating that someone seems to be discouraging Ao worship. ![]() Few mortals even know he exists at all, as his existence was completely hidden to them before the Time of Troubles, making worshiping him the domain of mystery cults rather than organized worshipers.
