The way I've always seen it, Law, Chaos, Good and Evil are not just ideals, but actual living entities that are in constant battle. PCs and NPCs are the masks which live out this battle while the Gods they represent move their Chess pieces about. They need to live their respective alignment, or that power wanes.Tyr was spoken of as an example of LG in this situation. He's a God in FR setting, but I feel the need to mention Cyric. As the God of Lies, any time anyone lies...he gets power. You combat that power by not lying. This is why Vecna can't die, because we will always have secrets, which Vecna is the lord over.If you kill another without cause or just because their race is usually evil when in fact there is just a small portion of goodness in that creature...Evil wins a little that day. So yes, Aragorn failed the powers of Good if he killed a Uruk-hai/Goblin/etc. who was by himself cooking dinner, who didn't attack with the weapon he raised, but only pulled out it in defense because so many jumped to conclusions on him being evil in the past.Again, that's circumstantial, as all instances of Alignment battles are. That's the point. That's the battle.</blockquote>
