[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5092934, member: 2093"] What if there is a third "force" or entity? Not evil or good, but neutral. The idea of an earth deity, or of a living soul for the world, which is more primeval, more basic, than either good or evil. This force may or may not have conscious will, but it wants to be rid of both other groups, which irritate and annoy it. Perhaps there are nature spirits which can tap into the unconscious power of this force. Some may use it for their own ends, good or bad, but they all want to rid the world of the monotheistic god and his fallen angels. It may be that some of the barbarians even follow this "force". They may call it "mother earth" or they may call it "the ancestor". Whatever, they probably don't realize that in the end, it calls them nothing at all. Worshipping and believing in such an entity would probably be senseless. It cares nothing for the insignificant creatures that inhabit its surface. You'd have to decide if siding with this being was eventually the saving or the ultimate downfall of the intelligent races. [/QUOTE]
