Dungeons & Dragons: Baldur's Gate

An ancient prophecy once predicted that “The God of
Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a
score of mortal children. Chaos will be sown from their
passage.” This prophecy refers to the god Bhaal.
Bhaal was one of three mortals, including Bane and
Myrkul, who ascended to godhood centuries ago by slaying
the death god, Jergal. Reveling in his newfound power,
Bhaal transformed himself into the Lord of Murder.
He was an entirely wicked, evil deity, revered only by
assassins and nihilistic, power-hungry sadists.
In 1358 DR, during the Time of Troubles, Bhaal was
one of many gods forced to walk Faerûn as mortals.
During this time, he was slain by the sword Godsbane,
leaving his throne empty. But before his death, Bhaal
fathered many children, each possessing a portion of his
fractured divinity. These children came to be known as
Bhaalspawn—seeds of the Lord of Murder.
