Bandos and the God WarsEdit
Bandos was one of the most active fighters in the Third Age battles, also known as the God Wars. It would seem Bandos arrived during the wars, and according to goblin religion, he attempted to recruit many of the world's races to fight for him. The dwarves, demons, elves, aviantese, and humans all refused, as they were already fighting for others gods such as Armadyl, Saradomin, Seren, Zamorak and many other gods who arrived to fight. Eventually, Bandos managed to recruit a number of followers, mainly consisting of many different unintelligent, and bloodthirsty, races.
During the God Wars, Bandos seemed to fight for the mere sake of battle. His allegiance was ever-shifting, his sole desire to revel in the bloodshed that threatened to destroy the world. While at times he fought alone, he is known to have entered alliances with Armadyl and Saradomin. This was merely so that he could win certain battles and, once these were over, he quickly turned upon them. The Wilderness was one of the main sites where armies of Bandos battled, adding to the chaos and confusion of Saradomin and Zamorak's forces, who were destroying the remnants of Zaros' empire there.
Bandos' army is one of the five combatants in the God Wars Dungeon battle, which is even today being fought over the mighty Godsword. Despite the fact that the God Wars ended over 4,000 years ago, the battle is still raging on, as its combatants were frozen during combat. His army consists mainly of unintelligent races that primarily use melee combat, although they do have a smaller number of archers and mages.
When the God Wars came to an end and the Edicts of Guthix were put in place, Bandos left Gielinor, although he still has a small but ever-growing group of followers. Some goblins say he left for new plans; others say he left because he was scared and could not make some of his followers fight.
