1 and 11 for the new Durgetash meme if you haven't had them already
1. What's Durges creation myth? Not the 'and then there was a gore baby'. Give me the details, what did Bhaal actually do for Durge to torment Toril in a few years?
Bhaal sliced his own belly open and molded Durge out of the flesh and guts that fell out of him. Shaped it until it resembled a baby and opened its eyes. I like to think that Sceleritas came to life then for the first time to pick up the child and wrap it in a red cloth that later became the Deathstalker Mantle
It was an unholy ceremony that left no survivors but Echoes of previous Bhaalspawn to tell the tales of it, and also the last time Bhaal has materialized in Fae'run. It brought upon a series of murders and people going insane if they wondered into the woods where the temple in which the ceremony happened was, some say it still can happen to random travelers but at this point it is considered just a legend.
11. What portfolio would they have claimed if they ever got to ascend? Would they simply usurp the current dead three or ascend and claim an unrelated portfolio of their own? What's going on there?
Oh they would take over their respective gods' portfolios! And would probably use them better tbh, Strike doesn't mind submitting himself willingly, at least not to Gortash, so they could have a much better Tyrant/Tyrant's Blade relationship than Bane and Bhaal ever had.
Or at least that's what Gortash tells himself when he is sure Bane can't hear him.
