Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 8404342" data-attributes="member: 2209">That is the entry for the Dawn War pantheon which is different from the Forgotten Realms cosmology and the FR versions of the two gods.In the 5e PH for the Forgotten Realms pantheon on page 294 Bane is listed as the God of Tyranny. Asmodeus is listed as an FR god in the 5e Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide with worship of him having gained steam after the Spellplague and he being known to give worshippers what they want and to hide their sins from other gods. It also mentions how he consumed the divine spark of Azuth in the Spellplague to achieve godhood (despite Azuth still being listed as an FR god with his own entry). SCAG page 21 lists Asmodeus as the god of indulgence and Bane as the god of Tyranny.If you look at the 5e DMG page 64 where the Nine Hells are being discussed Asmodeus is referred to throughout only as the Archduke of Nessus. It is designed so he can be either a god and archdevil as DMG page 11 says he is in the Dawn War pantheon cosmology, or he can be a non-deity archdevil in other cosmologies.</blockquote>
