Bhaal was basically the God of Assassins/murderers- a "moderate" power.
The other two dead Gods (with relation to bhaal) are Myrkul, God of the dead, and Bane, God of Strife. I'm not certain which of the other two was really Bhaal's "overseer", although I have a suspicion that it may have been Myrkul. At any rate, Cyric took over all of their portfolios, and one other I believe?
Meanwhile, Midnight took over Mystra's portfolio (magic), while Kelemvor has managed to somewhat claw his way back from the dead and take over the portfolio of Death (which incidentally greatly changed the balance...Myrkul and Cyric were both evil, Kelemvor is very, very Good).
Cyric's comment about "I didn't need it, I didn't want it" (in relation to the Throne of Bhaal) relates to the fact that he was making the realm of the dead his stomping grounds up until Kelemvor defeated him. |
