[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 7812116, member: 6669384"] I thought that the Plane of Fire was Lawfully aligned, at least in the 3.* Manual of the Planes. Could be wrong, of course, and happy to be corrected, if appropriate. Reading that, I couldn't help but think, "Goodwill. That and a dollar, will buy you a cup of coffee". The way I see it, debts are formally agreed to, or they don't exist in a Lawful Evil society. someone might decide to repay a favor, but wouldn't do it unless they saw some advantage to it. Like, the need for a favor in return. That's just my take, of course, and maybe I'm seeing LEs as more dedicated predators than you are. LE individuals in a "normal" society would "do as the Romans do" for the most part, until they're strong enough to stop caring what the Romans do, and just do what they want. In a LE based society I'd see predation on one's neighbors as a routine thing, and skill as a predator the key to social and economic advancement. The top predators are the ones willing to take a chance, and good enough to get away with it. Kind of like Wall Street. [/QUOTE]
