For instance within the Hindu faith creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin and do not have a value judgement attached to either. Creation and destruction are necessary for the cycle to continue turning from one age to the next. In this faith, for instance, value judgements are attached to selflessness and self-centredness and how this clouds or enlightens ones perception of certain truths. Thats another basis, that GMs can employ when creating a religious cosmology thats not typically based on the usual good vs evil or law vs chaos basis.In my games over the last few years I have tried to employ three main deities that represent light, darkness and the balance between both, and have these entities manifest in different forms and under different guises and names for the various sentient races that thrive in my campaign world and thus having varying domains depending on the race concerned, their specific needs  and how their relationship with their deity manifests.DS.</blockquote>
