Bane
Bane, the Demon of Irritability, embodies the insidious frustration and petty annoyances that can unravel the very fabric of sanity. He appears as a gaunt figure, draped in tattered garments that seem to flicker with a foul, dark energy. His skin is a sickly shade of greenish-gray, marked by erratic patches that pulse like a heartbeat, reflecting the agitation that lies beneath his surface. Bane’s eyes are piercing and restless, swirling with an unsettling mix of irritation and malice, while his mouth twists into a sneer that reveals sharp, jagged teeth, perpetually poised as if ready to unleash a torrent of venomous words. He exudes an aura of tension, a tangible energy that prickles the skin and stirs annoyance in all who come near.
As the embodiment of irritability, Bane thrives on the minor frustrations that build into uncontrollable rage. He delights in stirring discontent among friends and loved ones, using subtle manipulations to ignite arguments over trivial matters. His presence breeds discord, turning small inconveniences into full-blown conflicts, and sowing seeds of doubt and irritation that grow rapidly in the hearts of mortals. Bane teaches that irritability is a potent tool for asserting dominance, urging his followers to embrace their frustrations and unleash them upon others. He finds joy in the chaos that erupts from seemingly insignificant grievances, feeding off the strife he creates.
Rituals dedicated to Bane are chaotic and filled with discord, often centered around acts that exacerbate irritability and annoyance. Followers gather in frenzied groups, their hearts charged with pent-up frustration, participating in rites designed to amplify their grievances. They chant his name in a cacophony of complaints, seeking to invoke his influence to unleash chaos on their enemies. His clerics, marked by their twitchy movements and volatile tempers, are notorious for their ability to incite quarrels and conflicts, often turning allies against one another with a mere whisper. In all his manifestations, Bane stands as a dark reminder of how easily irritation can spiral into destructive rage, transforming relationships into battlegrounds where patience is a distant memory, and chaos reigns supreme.
