Legend
Paladine is Good. The Kingpriest was (again at the final moment) not Good. The Cataclysm, was Old Testament.
I read that as 'he was at one point, a good man'. Clearly he would have been, before an Alignment shift due to his over reach and zealous persecution. Thats the thing, I dont think the text, limited as it is, actually states that Paladine supported the Kingpriest, in fact we know he didnt, he withdrew his power.
If Paladine agreed, up to the very end, that the Kingpriest was 'Good', he would not have withdrawn his power.
On the other hand it is clear and unambiguous that Paladine claimed that the Kingpriest was good. The question is why Paladine, chief god of Good claimed that the Kingpriest was good.
