DO NOT REPOST

-

I may have found a ship that I’m obsessed with purely for the fact that Gortash loves destruction and Gale exists

-

Galetash wins

“You have a magical ancient explosive orb in your chest that could level an entire city you say~”

Tried a new technique with shading on this one and its especially dramatic and very painterly. Let me know how we think about it!

Gortash is well on his way to usurping Bane, literally all he has to do is turn the worship for the Absolute towards himself and not his god. Bam, new God of tyranny.

Durge who rejects Bhaal but is still a bad guy, still made of divine flesh, brought back by Jergal himself... He would have no problem ascending, and from there it's a small step to overthrowing Bhaal who is left with no followers and no Chosen. Similarly Myrkul's domain becomes obsolete in a world where death does not let go. He will be death in all its forms, the one that ushers souls into the beyond with the blade of a knife, and keeps them there.

And finally Gale, who has a (very valid) grudge against Mystra and a bomb in his chest. The Karsite weave is implied to be incredibly destructive, consuming energy to feed itself and unleashing terrifying explosive power. So imagine that he doesn't use the crown to suppress that. Instead he embraces it, he becomes entropy, the destruction of matter itself, the antithesis of the weave. The edge of the world that creeps closer with every day, only kept at bay by offerings from a terrified people.

when i was a man i thought it ended

when i knew love's perfect ache

but my peace has always depended
