[QUOTE="Doug McCrae, post: 8067056, member: 21169"] I think it's most important for Law vs Chaos. In 3H&3L it's a geographic, racial, ethical, and religious divide. 3H&3L: [INDENT][H]umans were the chief agents on earth of Law, though most of them were so only unconsciously and some, witches and warlocks and evildoers, had sold out to Chaos. A few nonhuman beings also stood for Law. Ranged against them was almost the whole Middle World, which seemed to include realms like Faerie, Trollheim, and the Giants... the world of Law—of man—is hemmed in with strangeness, like an island in the sea of the Middle World.[/INDENT] Compare with B2 The Keep on the Borderlands: “The Realm of mankind is narrow and constricted. Always the forces of Chaos press upon its borders, seeking to enslave its populace, rape its riches, and steal its treasures. If it were not for a stout few, many in the Realm would indeed fall prey to the evil which surrounds them." A follower of Chaos in 3H&3L tries to justify it: "What is there about dull Law that drives you to defend it?… you’re but bulwarking loutish peasants and fat-gutted burghers, when the mirth and thunder and blazing stars of Chaos could be yours."
