In this guide, we’ll detail all the Gods you’ll find mention of in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Bane

Bane is a dark paragon of hate, fear, and tyranny. He ascended to godhood alongside Bhaal and Myrkul but loathes them both for taking power he believes is rightfully his.

Bane was the God of tyrannical oppression, terror, and hate. He was the face of pure evil and despotism. Bane was a wholly malevolent and brutal deity that distanced himself from mere mortals, preferring to reign over his followers from afar. He savored the terror he instilled in others and the hatred that formed in mortals’ hearts, utilizing this strife to gain greater control over the Realms.

Bhaal

Bhaal is the notorious god of murder, reborn after each of his descendants was viciously slain. He has a tenuous alliance with Myrkul and Bane, the three having attained divinity in a bargain with the fallen god Jergal.

Bhaal is known to be the God of violence and ritualistic murder. In some extreme cases, Bhaal’s mortal Bhaalspawn children could actually turn into creatures said to be one of the listed avatars after Bhaal himself died, but these incarnations were even more monstrous and inhuman in shape, acting as little more than powerful killing machines.

Eilistraee

Eilistraee is the goddess of good-aligned Drow, beauty, song, and freedom. The Dark Maiden desires balance between all races, and struggles against her mother Lolth’s corrupt aims. Eilistraee was the chaotic good drow goddess of beauty, song, dance, freedom, moonlight, swordwork, and hunting, within the drow pantheon known as the Dark Seldarine. She was the patroness and protector of the few dark elves who longed to return to the surface and live there, at peace with other races, and to abandon the endless conflicts and intrigues that dominated the lives of most drow.

Helm, also known as the Vigilant One and The Watcher, was the god of guardians, protection, and protectors.

Kelemvor 

Fair but distant, Kelemvor guides the dead to their appropriate plane in the afterlife. His clergy provides last rites across Faerun, but also destroy undead that have escaped Kelemvor’s judgment. Fair yet cold, Kelemvor was the god of death and the dead—the most recent deity to hold this position, following in the footsteps of Jergal, Myrkul, and Cyric. Unlike these other deities, whose rule as gods of the dead made the afterlife an uncertain and fearful thing, Kelemvor promoted that death was a natural part of life and should not be feared as long as it was understood.

Laduguer, also known as The Exile, the Gray Protector, and Master of Crafts was the lawful evil dwarven deity of the duergar. Ever since he was cast out from the rest of the Morndinsamman, Laduguer has harbored a bitter resentment, viewing the rest of the pantheon as layabouts more concerned with outdated tradition than with progress.

Typically his outfit included a tabard with projecting, ornamented shoulder plates, a cummerbund with an exquisitely beautiful scene painted on its medallion-shaped buckle, and open meshwork, point-toed boots with crystal teardrops dangling from the end of uppers, almost enough to touch the upraised toes.

Selune

The Lady of Silver presides over the moon, stars, and navigation. Her power over the heavens is constantly challenged by her sister Shar, who seeks to plunge the world into eternal shadow. Selûne, also known as Our Lady of Silver, the Moonmaiden, and the Night White Lady, was the goddess of the moon in the Faerûnian pantheon. She held the portfolios of the moon, stars, navigation, navigators, wanderers, questers, seekers, and non-evil lycanthropes. In the time of ancient Netheril, when she was a greater goddess, she held the portfolios of the moon, moonlight, and stars; beauty and purity; love and marriage; navigation and navigators; tracking, wanderers, and seekers; diviners and dreams; good and neutral lycanthropes; and autumn. Hers was the moon’s mysterious power, the heavenly force that governed the world’s tides and a mother’s reproductive cycles, caused lycanthropes to shift form, and drew one to the brink of madness, and back again.
