'''Bandos''' was the [[Dragonwilds:God]] of War, often called the "Big High War God" by his followers, which primarily consisted of less-intelligent races. Once a mortal member of an unnamed extinct species that valued fighting to the death, he ascended after killing the former god of his own world. During the {{RSL|God Wars}}, Bandos joined a temporary alliance with [[Dragonwilds:Saradomin]] and [[Dragonwilds:Armadyl]] to combat Zamorak. After [[Dragonwilds:Guthix]]'s death, Bandos returned to Gielinor to restart the war, but was met by Armadyl. Now embracing peace, Armadyl built a {{RSL|Divine Focus|weapon}} to stop Bandos' warmongering. In a final confrontation, Armadyl killed the god of war and ended a deity who once suffered so greatly from war himself.{{CiteJournal|journal=Armadyl|quote=Since the Edicts, Armadyl has had a change of heart. While he will fight if he has to, he prefers a more peaceful path. He returned to Gielinor to put a stop to Bandos' warmongering, preventing him from turning the planet into a war-torn wreck.}}

Despite the [[Dragonwilds:Goblin (race)|goblins]] worshipping Bandos in the rest of {{RSL|Gielinor}}, the goblins on [[Dragonwilds:Ashenfall]] serve the dragons as their "Big High War God" instead after [[Dragonwilds:Velgar]] fought Bandos and sent him running back to the mainland.{{CiteNPC|npc=Zanik|quote=It's actually quite fascinating being here, without a prophecy to worry about. The goblins round here are so different from those back home, they don't even worship Bandos. They follow the dragons instead, which is really interesting. I wonder if it changes how their society lives? Do you think they'd object to me taking notes of their rituals? They probably would, right? Dagnammit.}}{{CiteJournal|journal=Muddy Scrawl|quote=Going to workship dragon now, maybe he make us dragons too? I bet goblin dragons would be strongest dragons of all. Velgar is new big high war god. Glory be to Velgar.}}

==Journal==
{{Journal entry|Few deities are responsible for as much death and destruction as the self-styled “big high war god” Bandos. On his own world, he brought destruction and became the last one standing in a planet-wide war. When he ascended, he brought this war to other planets, wiping out countless civilisations for the Grand Sport of war.

He came to [[Dragonwilds:Gielinor]] for the God Wars, delighting in death and destruction between entities as powerful as him. He aligned with [[Dragonwilds:Saradomin]] and [[Dragonwilds:Armadyl]] to battle Zamorak, helping corner the lord of chaos and forcing his hand.

Zamorak’s revenge destroyed a whole region, wiping out Forinthry and creating the Wilderness. A deadly region where monsters and murderers thrive.

Bandos met his match after the death of [[Dragonwilds:Guthix]], when he returned to Gielinor to start battle once again. He began work on a great weapon that would be strong enough to kill the other gods, but the god of justice, Armadyl, {{sic|double space}}built his weapon first.

The goblins, ourgs and other minions of Bandos, watched as the aviansie deity took Bandos’ mace and crushed the remains of Bandos’ skull.

Though the god of war is dead, his people still live on, following the dogma of endless conflict.}}
