Church of Bane

The Church of Bane is a tyrannical organization who once tasted immense power and control, but has since lost a great deal.





Church Structure
Bane is the God of War and Conquest, and his church fits the desires of Bane well. They are more an army than a church at times. The head of the Church is known as the Executor, who is directly served by thirteen Dark Marshalls. These Marshalls are responsible for various areas of Rhonnos, although who controls what area is generally not known outside of the church.

Each Banite Temple is controlled by a Hand and is usually answerable only to their Dark Marshall or the Executor. Within the lower organization of the Church, there are Venerates (scholars and magic), Black Swords (infantry), Duskriders (cavalry), and Topplers (siege and engineering). Beneath them are the common members of the church, most of whom have some military training.

Humans dominate the Church of Bane, but Hobgoblins have a significant power base as well.



Holy Days
Remembered by many, the day that the Dark Crusade began is celebrated, but moreso as something to be regained.

The first full moon of the spring is also significant to Banities. To them, it signifies the start of a military campaign, and attacks that begin on such a day are thought to be blessed by Bane himself.

Exarchs
Maglubiyet: A hobgoblin of enormous size, Maglubiyet is often considered the patron of Goblins and Hobgoblins alike. He serves Bane only because he was subjugated.
