[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8608660, member: 6790260"] ...what? You do realize that the Bael-Turath/Arkhosia war was [I]specifically because[/I] the God of Law, Erathis, was playing both sides because she didn't care [I]which[/I] lawful empire took over, she just wanted [I]one[/I] of them to do so, and got burned by the fact that they destroyed each other instead...right? Or how the War of Winter was straight-up a pantheon of chaos (led by Khala), which went up against a loose not-quite-pantheon led by Lawful deities (e.g. Bahamut, Asmodeus, Erathis, and Moradin), and which caused enough damage to the mortal world that the Primal Spirits said [I]enough[/I] and kicked them all out....right? There's TONS of potential and actual L-v-C conflict in 4e. Heck, there's even stuff with deities that otherwise get along just fine, like Kord and Bahamut, potentially having a falling-out that needs outside assistance to fix up (Kord basically hijacks the prototype asteroid ark-ship Bahamut's been building, intending to use it to make the first salvo of the Dusk War before someone else does; Bahamut needs heroes to go put a stop to this and get Kord to wise up that [I]triggering the Dusk War would be a VERY GOOD IDEA[/I], as the TNOmod folks so cheekily put it.) Or the ongoing hatred between Melora, goddess of chaos, nature, and the sea, and Erathis, goddess of law, invention, and civilization. Not to mention the whole "Asmodeus is secretly building a [I]gigantic soul battery[/I] in an attempt to become stronger than all of the other gods combined" plotline for juicy, [I]juicy[/I] good-vs-evil stuff. Or anything involving the Abyss, or the Far Realm... [/QUOTE]
