[QUOTE="Herobizkit, post: 5534342, member: 36150"] All the time. Many character-driven games have an often "shades of grey" mentality. In short, this means that Good and Evil are parts of one another instead of absolutes, and alignments tend to be at least partially neutral. In such games, races that are normally perceived to be Good can be any alignment with any motivation. A settlement of Dwarves can compete with the local humans for mining rights; while the humans are busy, they could be secretly fortifying to claim an ancient Dwarven stronghold before the humans find it. The Elves are normally quite aloof, but have been seen strolling about the Halfling villages as of late. The Halflings prefer to be left alone, but tolerate the Elves because they keep the marauding Orcs at bay. The Elves believe the Halflings have something the Orcs want, and want whatever it is for themselves. A village of half-elves vows vengeance on both the Humans and the Elves for a perceived mistreatment that may or may not be true. They strike a deal with the gnomes to 'run interference' on one side so that the half-elves may strike at the other. A Silver Dragon living among an Elven community learns that the neighboring Dwarves are trying to push the Elves further from their borders. The Dwarves have heard that a Dragon walks among the Elves and are trying to entice it to show itself so that they may hunt for its hoard. [/QUOTE]
