I like to think Bhaal spends the entire timeline of BG3 just so incredibly confused and absolutely pissy about why he can't convince anyone - even his most special, Chosen, purest of Bhaalspawn- to murder for simple murder's sake.
Not that Bhaal doesn't appreciate murder more generally, but also how in the hells is he supposed to achieve global-genocide when everyone, even his own idiot kids, keeps using his precious murder as a mere tool, a means to their own ends, ya know?
He has to be a helicopter-parent to Durge about it:
Pre-tadpole Durge is so in-want of connection that they have to be under constant supervision by their specially-assigned butler to try and keep them on task. ("Stop bitching and let me live vicariously through you like all the other sport-parents!")
Then, even that isn't enough to stop them from connecting with Bane's lil shit "Gortash" and eventually starting in with the crown/Absolute plan ("Why in the hells are we using MY MURDER to help fucking Bane with his fucking tyranny?!")
Shortly after that Durge goes and gets merc'd and tadpoled by the other one... ("Have I taught my children nothing!? Orin really should know well by now that it's not 'murder' if they survive...")
... And then - clearly still prone to frivolous connection - they fucking gang up with a bunch of weirdos only to head home with other, new bad habits like "thinking for themselves" and "the apparent intent to entirely trash the plan they insisted on making with Gortash!" ("If you didn't want to play you shouldn't have had me sign you up for the team! Get your ass back in the game! You already got your Deathstalker uniform and everything! Now stop embarrassing me and maybe I'll even give you a slayer form.")
And, while Durge is being a rebellious lil Bhaalspawn, Bhaal also has to contend with:
His cultists, who are apparently killing mostly just for notoriety and/or safety amongst themselves. ("Quit playing around! I assure you I do not give a single fuck which one of you did it or how clean it was so long as the murder(s) did happen.")
Orin, who is playing at being an artist and completely absorbed in her exploration of murder and maiming as novel media to express her innumerable daddy issues ("Yes, I DO still like your lobotomized bloodkin more; at least they never wasted my time asking me to put all their shitty artwork up on the fridge.")
And Bane and Myrkul, who are presumably laughing their godly asses off and/or absolutely raging at Bhaal's inability to keep anyone at heel and how it's interfering with their mutual plan.
TL;DR: Life is hard when you're The God of Murder and neither your employees or your children properly respect the family business and your frenemies mock you for it.
#the “agreement” with Bane is just Bhaal trying to make the best of his favorite kid insisting on a playdate with Gortash#but if they hang out with Bane and Gortash they also have to invite Myrkul and Kethric - for the politics#and Orin is fully just the nosy little sister ruining everyone else's day#bg3 spoilers#dark urge spoilers#dark urge#durge#bg3 dark urge#bg3 durge#bg3 orin#orin the red#bg3 gortash#enver gortash#bhaal#bhaalspawn#bg3 bhaal#bg3 bhaalspawn#bane#bg3 bane#chosen three#bg3 chosen three#bg3#baldur’s gate 3#baldurs gate 3#rambles#bg3 headcanons

been running around act 2 trying to work out the timeline of what happened back when ketheric was defeated and im still stuck on a few things but i think ive managed to sort out most of it?
isobel dies. she doesn't remember how she died, and if you talk to squire, ketheric's dog, she says that ketheric told her she died the same night as isobel, trying to protect her. but she also doesn't remember how she died/what she was protecting isobel from.
ketheric turns to shar. he and balthazar imprison aylin in the shadowfell and build the gauntlet around that prison. i wasn't super clear on when? this happened, but she's definitely been imprisoned for at least a century, and it would've had to have been not long after he turned to shar otherwise aylin wouldn't have trusted him - i'm pretty sure she said they lured her there by saying someone was in danger? which i doubt she would've trusted if she'd known he'd converted to shar at the time.
ketheric raises an army of dark justiciars in shar's name and rebuilds the fortress in the underdark, which was already in ruin at that point. he plans to lead an assault from moonrise and the underdark.
the harpers and the druids gather in force to stop him.
at the same time, there's a very small selunite resistance in reithwin, lead by the grand mason of the mason's guild. he makes a deal with raphael to wipe out ketheric's forces. raphael sends yurgir and his army via the underdark to wipe out the dark justiciars in the fortress/temple, while ensuring theres still one alive to keep yurgir trapped there. im not entirely sure why raphael offered the mason that deal? he obviously gets the mason's soul, but it seems like a lot in exchange for one soul? yurgir says raphael mentioned 'something about an aasimar', which would've been aylin, but i can't figure out what raphael would've meant by that.
the harpers and druids defeat ketheric. this is where i get a bit confused, because if you ask jaheria about it she says she buried ketheric in the mausoleum herself, and that he was definitely dead. but when he gets attacked in the present day he heals straight away, so im not sure how he was definitely dead if he was already bound to aylin? and if he wasn't dead, it's not like they could've missed that?
im not sure exactly when ketheric was supposed to have been bought back? im assuming it had something to do with balthazar, but again i can't work out if he was actually dead or not. also not sure if he'd just been chilling in moonrise for a century before myrkul offered to bring back isobel in exchange for him becoming myrkuls chosen/joining with the other chosen. isobel probably hasn't been back for that long either by the time jaheria and the harpers arrive at last light in, otherwise ketheric probably would've found another way to try and retrieve her.
in terms of how isobel died, im very suss about the fact that she and squire both don't remember anything about it. it could be just the trauma of dying but i also wouldn't be surprised if their memories were removed, which sharrans definitely know how to do.

Wait a minute, but does Bane actually do anything himself?
Myrkul brings Isobel back, that's why he has Ketheric's loyalty.
Bhaal creates children he uses as tools, even after his own death (i.e. Durge being sculpted of the slice of Bhaal's dead flesh).
But what does Bane do? How is he enforcing his success? Gortash only became Chosen AFTER the heist with the crown, though he was a banite before that. But what did Bane actually OFFER Gortash? Durge and Orin are compelled to do their father's biddings, and Myrkul gave Ketheric his daughter back.
But Gortash was mildly successful smuggler and weapons-trader 10 years prior the game. He was connected enough to contact Zariel and deal with her. The weapons banites use are made out of infernal steel, those are the weapons Gortash very likely commissioned from Franc.
He approached a bhaalspawn and created a completely insane plan to STEAL FROM ARCHDEVIL. Steal the thing of unimaginable power. And the plan was successful.
And only then Bane came to him in his dreams and made him Chosen.
So either Gortash lies in his memoir to make himself took cooler, or auntie Ethel is right and Bane IS the laziest tyrant who just rides on other people's success. Like his entire cult with Enver on top work their asses off for this plan, create the Steel Watch, manage the Iron Throne, firework refugees, and Bane just sits on his throne and does nothing.
Bane is literally an embodiment of capitalism. Fucking CEO of Worldwide company. Making others do all the work while chilling on the bg.
And its not like they needed gods to back netherstones up, a godless durge/tav themselves is more than capable of wielding the stones. Why the fuck Bane is literally "go girl give us nothing"? Why did Gortash NEED Bane, he could've pulled the plan without him. He had Elder Brain under the Moonrise Towers, the crown, his connections and money, he didn't need Bane to create Steelwatch or control people, the entire Absolute idea is about becoming gods themselves through control of the Elder Brain.
Was Bane just THAT convincing? And I'm really curious about how Gortash became banite in the first place. Like I see how the rhetoric would be appealing to him, but he really doesn't strike me as a faithful servant of a god type of a guy.

They deserve a little smooch, as a treat! I know they could kiss right away (thanks patch 6) but after that confession scene Orion would have felt really shitty about asking for one.. HOWEVER landing the killing blow on the avatar of Death for one and the surviving the whole patron ordeal for the other might have left the atmosphere a bit more... Electric 👉👈 it just made more sense for me, that's all.

Love Bhaal explicitly granting exemption from murderquest for both whoever his champion's special pookie is and also. If necessary, whatever breeding partners are needed to keep the line alive. This is what happens when your domain is bloodshed not death someone at some point has to be on the other end churning out babies to do blood rituals with

Is it just me or are orin and gortash's fights so fucking boring compared to ketheric's? Ketheric has phases and intrigue, and the avatar of myrkul. Orin is immediately the slayer, and gortash has some traps?? I guess? It's just so boring, and I think they really suffer from being treated as small minibosses in act 3 compared to the finale of act 2

Have we considered . . . Ketheric but with themes of the wild hunt, hunting any would-be Justiciars or do-gooding Selûnites who attempt to enter Reithwin?
#OOC / HOLLY.#MOBILE.#cuz I just thought about it and now I’m obsessed#his hobby for the last century#a traditionally noble activity made profane#something done to feed the living now feeding only the curse#also how the Wild Hunt can be an omen of war or plague#and some say those who are hunted are dragged an otherworld or underworld or join the hunt themselves#IT FITS. THE LEGENDS THAT WOULD ARISE ABOUT HIM#there are no stories of Ketheric Thorm not just because he profaned horribly#but because legends say if you invoke his name he’ll hunt you down in the night too#one part damnatio memoriae and one part superstition#skfhdkdhd imagining durge and/or gortash trynna reach him when he becomes Myrkul’s Chosen#and their first meeting is him hunting them like any other prey#only discover of course they are anything but prey
