Where My Tyrants At? (Patreon)

Rounding out the Dead Three, we've got a Bane today! Having Tyranny as your portfolio is pretty rough in the modern sense of "bad autocrat", given that no autocrat aspires to be bad at their job, but going back further the word just kind of means "totally effective autocrat", and that's something I can work with; there's plenty of people out there who would really like everyone to stay in their place, with one really strong guy to keep them in line.

Bane, thus, is a god of structured, methodical Power, a god of Victory and Security, a god of having your friends on one side of a wall and your enemies on the other, of swift and decisive violence, of not pretending to be bound by laws or customs that derive their power from your authority. It makes total sense that he'd be a major part of public life in any highly structured society, and that he'd find worshippers equally among crime-lords and regular-lords.
