4th Edition
In 4th Edition, the only open enemy Bane has is the orc God Gruumsh, who wants to be the only God of War so badly that he literally threw his entire realm of Nishrek against Bane's realm of Chernoggar. In order to keep his realm intact, Bane was forced to fuse the two dimensions together, and the two Gods have been openly at war ever since.
He also knew and worked with Asmodeus before he took over the Nine Hells. The two are said to have hated each other, but were both disciplined enough to work well together regardless. Bane is said to have sent help to Asmodeus in his rebellion; whether or not it made a difference in the rebellion is unknown, but it is said that Devils will deal (slightly) more honestly with followers of Bane than any other God, and Bane's followers are more likely to summon and employ devils than followers of other Gods.

Famous quotes containing the word edition:
“Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver’s Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children’s book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That’s what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
