[QUOTE="Elric, post: 1777109, member: 1139"] One idea for an evil celestial faction would be celestials who have decided that all creatures are prone to evil and, as such, need to be controlled (from behind the scenes) by a greater force for their own good. This might have some trouble squaring with typical D&D assumptions, which seem to be that there are certain creatures prone to good and others to evil. If you can work “magic, mystery and authority” into it, I’ll be happy. This is similar to Lord Pendragon’s suggestion, but a little different. Where he suggests that the celestials should attempt to control creation to fashion it into paradise, my vision of the celestials is that they have given up on paradise and wish to make inertia (not sure if that’s the right word for what I mean) the highest ideal possible. I have an image that I’ve probably stolen from somewhere of a solar weeping tears of blood as he decides that paradise cannot be achieved. If Agar is still around, Vision Cascade lets you put in almost any scene you want. Keep up the great work! [/QUOTE]
