[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 7429432, member: 11697"] The 'loths are a paradox of utter selfish self-interest and quasi-religious (yet brutally misotheist) zealots and slaves to the abstract concept of primordial Evil and their creators the baernaloths. To quote 2e's 'Faces of Evil: The Fiends', yugoloths only desire a perfect universe: one in which the concept of mercy does not exist. They want raw, uniform, pointless cosmic suffering. The Blood War was their own instigation, a long-term plan to breed evil in all its forms through brutal self-cannibalization, until they eventually lull the upper planes into complacency and unite the entirety of the Lower Planes beneath their own banner and turn on the other planes one by one, eradicating hope, starving the gods until the Astral plane is littered with the withered, rocky husks of deceased divinities, and then smile over all that they have wrought. Having them as greedy mercenaries is a public face that hides a primordial monster that has been there since the dawn of time, since before the gods, since mortal life existed. Not that MToF gave you even a hint of that prior and very deep lore. Well I suppose this is my question to answer given that I wrote most of the PF daemon content. :) [/QUOTE]
