=== Time of Troubles ===
Despite their ascension, Bane and Myrkul still wished for more power and the two stole the Tablets of Fate from the overgod Ao with the belief that the Overgod's power was tied to the Tablets. When Ao noticed the theft, he summoned all the gods and demanded that the thieves return the tablets but no deity stepped foward. Tired of their constant power plays and negligence of their duties, Ao banished all the gods except for the god Helm (who was commanded to guard the Celestial Stairway) to the mortal world and forbade entry into the Divine realms until the Tablets were found and returned to him.

It was during this time that the Three met their demise. Bane died during a titanic battle against the god Torm, Myrkul was slain by the Chosen of Mystra; Midnight, who later became [[Mystra]] after her predecessor was slain by Helm for trying to enter the Realms without the tablets. And Bhaal was slain by the mortal Cyric wielding the sword Godsbane (an avatar of the god Mask). After these events, the three were given the name Dead Three and the mortal Cyric who ascended as a god gained all of the Dead Three's divine portfolios and worshippers for a time.
