Background Story
When the gods have nightmares, it is Bane
Elemental who brings them. Also known as Atropos, Bane was born from
the midnight terrors of the goddess Nyctasha. A force of terror too
powerful to be contained by sleep, he surfaced from her slumbers, fed
upon her immortality, and stole his vaporous form from her inky blood.
He is the essence of fear. Mortals who hear his voice hear their darkest
secrets whispered in their ear. He calls to the hidden fear in every
Hero’s heart. Wakefulness is no protection, for Bane’s black blood,
continuously dripping, is a tar that traps his enemies in nightmare. In
the presence of Bane, every Hero remembers to fear the dark.
