thank you to all channel members and patrons who make this type of content much more possible without further Ado let us commence with a tale of the Dead 3. larian Studios with Baldur's Gate 3 has stated publicly that we'll be finding ourselves on the center stage of a comp plot hatched by none other than the Dead 3. the gods of murder tyranny and death so this is a great time to tell the story of their Ascension to godhood this particular story comes directly from a book that's in possession of a mage named fire bead Elven hair in Baldur's Gate 1. in ages past there was but one God of strife death in the dead and he was known as jurgel lord of the end of everything jurgel fomented and fed on the Discord among Mortals and Powers alike when beings slew each other in their quest for power or in their hatred he welcomed them into his shadowy kingdom of Eternal Gloom as all things died everything came to him eventually and over time he built his power into a kingdom unchallenged by any other God eventually however he grew tired of his duties for he knew them too well without challenge there is nothing and in nothingness there is only Gloom in such a state the difference between absolute power and absolute powerlessness is undetectable during this dark era there arose three powerful Mortals Bane ball and Merkel who lusted after the power jurgel wielded the trio forged an Unholy pact agreeing that they would dare to seek such ultimate power or die in the attempt over the length and breadth of the Realms they Strode seeking powerful magic and spells and defying death at every turn no matter what monster they confronted or what spells they braved the three Mortals emerged unscathed at every turn eventually the trio destroyed one of the seven lost gods and they each seized a portion of his Divine Essence for themselves the trio then journeyed into the gray waste and sought out the castle of bone through armies of skeletons Legions of zombies hordes of non-corporeal Undead in a gauntlet of liches they battled eventually they reached the object of their lifelong Quest the bone throne [Music] I claim this Throne of evil shouted Bane the Tyrant I'll destroy you before you can raise a finger threatened ball the Assassin and I shall imprison your essence for eternity promised Merkel The Necromancer jurgel arose from his throne with a weary expression and said the throne is yours I have grown weary of this empty power take it if you wish I promise to serve and guide you as your senital until you grow comfortable with the position before the stunned Trio could react the lord of the Dead continued who among you shall rule a trio immediately fell to fighting amongst themselves while jergel looked on with indifference when eventually it appeared that either they would all die of exhaustion or battle on for an eternity the lord of the end of everything intervened after all you have sacrificed would you come away with nothing why don't you divide the portfolios of the office and engage in a game of skill for them ask jurgel Bain ball and Merkel considered the God's offer and agreed jurgel took the heads of his three most powerful liches and gave them to the trio that they would compete by bowling the skulls each mortal rolled the skull across the gray waist having agreed that the winner would be he who bold the furthest malara the Beast Lord arrived to visit gerbil at this moment after quickly ascertaining that the winner of this contest would get all of jurgel's power he chased off after the three skulls to make sure that the contests would be halted until he had a chance to participate for part of the prize Bane ball and Merkel again fell to fighting as it was obvious that their sport was ruined and again jerkel intervened why don't you allow Lady Luck to decide so that you don't have to share with the Beast a trio agreed and jurgel broke off his skeletal finger bones and gave them to the players when milar returned from chasing the skulls he found that the trio had just finished a game of knuckle bones Bane Cried Out triumphantly as winner I choose to rule for all eternity as the ultimate Tyrant I can induce hatred and strife at my whim and all will bow down before me while in My Kingdom Merkel who had won second place declared but I choose the dead and by doing so I truly win because all you are Lord over Bane will eventually be mine All Things Must Die even gods ball who finished third demurred I choose death and is by my hand that all you rule Lord Bane will eventually pass to Lord Merkel both of you must pay honor to me and obey my wishes since I can destroy your kingdom Bane by murdering your subjects and I can starve your kingdom Merkel by staying my hand malar growled in frustration but could do nothing and yet again only the beasts were left for him in jergel merely smiled for he had been delivered and that is the story of the Dead 3's Ascension to godhood they would go on to Reign Over their respective realms for many many years being the god of tyranny would spread hate and tyranny across all of faerun as he worked on his ultimate plan of achieving Total Domination he exerted special influence over a powerful faction known as the zentarim Merkel the god of the Dead received plenty of offerings at funerals they took great pride in terrorizing Mortals with their fear of death he wasn't as widely worshiped like Bane was more so he was dreaded and his influence spread through the fear of death all the Lord of murder would grow to immense power and he reveled in the fact that he could take lives away from Bane who is seeking to grow an ultimate Army of power or stay his hand giving less death to Merkel he was a holy evil and sadistic God who only lived to hunt and kill in the mere existence of living beings aroused within him in intense craving for demise and devastation despite the dead 3's immense power it was not enough and Bane and Merkel would go on to steal the tablets of Fate from the over God AO as they believed that some of the over God's power was derived from these powerful tablets when AO discovered that the tablets were missing and no Gods took responsibility he cast them all down from their Divine Realms to walk the planet in their vulnerable mortal Avatar forms this time is known as the time of troubles it took place in 1358 Dr which is around a decade before Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and over 130 years before Baldur's Gate 3 takes place during the time of troubles ball was killed by siric Bane slain by torm and merkel's Avatar was disintegrated by midnight all three Gods had prepared for their deaths though Bane had created a Scion for the purpose of his own regeneration and this was through his son named zvim ball had impregnated countless mortal women who would give birth to ball spawn which held his Essence when the last ball spawn was to die ball would then be resurrected the story of the ball spawn is of course what Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 revolve around I'll be sure to give summaries of those games in the coming months Merkel was able to have the last remains of his energy stored in an artifact of great power known as the crown of horns a long story short because I will likely be doing a dedicated video for each of the Dead 3. all three Gods returned to the pharoonian pantheon they continued to exert their influence in present time Forgotten Realms the 1490s which is the time that Baldur's Gate 3 takes place in the Dead 3 are still around but they walk as quasi-divine Mortals due to their choice to stay on the planet of toril during an event known as the second sunderine the second sunderine brought significant changes to the pharoonian pantheon and changes to how deities approached Mortals and this resulted in reduced power for many of the gods that chose to stay the Dead 3 wanted to continue their Quests for influence power and destruction over the continent of faerun where they already have a considerable following they're steadily gaining more worshipers in their pursuit to become the ultimate power in the land although they are not as powerful as before they are still extremely formidable and power hungry Bane is said to be leading the trio in their efforts they seem to have great influence over the city of Baldur's Gate if you've played Baldur's Gate 3's Early Access you would also know that something really really big is going on involving these three and that'll be it for today's lore video really excited to kick off this new lore series as
