BUT there were always some great hero around...THEN CAME THE ISSUE... a LG king empowered and helped everyone and good was winning. In fact it was almost a forgone conclusion that everyone was going to get there 'happy ever after' in a few elven generations... BUT EVIL WAS PISSED.  So the evil gods started super empowering there few followers, and when that wasn't enough there avatar's started directly interfering and leading armies The good gods could not stand this, and they sent super power to there worshipers, and there own avatars...it was no longer a mortal war, the gods themselves were going to war... and all 3 groups came to the conculsion of MAD... there would be no winners, krynn would be destroyed. but evil would not backdown (good still held too much) so the neutral gods made a deal.The neutral gods caused the catyclsm to restore the balance (aka the worst hard reset ever) and the evil and good gods agreed to back down and leave... let there mortals work it out... and as such no gods were there for a while... until evil cheats.evil very blatantly breaks the deal, but good wants to counter balance in a fair and measured way (in modern day we call it a proportional responce... not my favorite idea but it is) through out the war the agreement is redefined as clerics CAN use divine power and avatars can advise but not directly interfer... everytime 1 side directly take action the other side gets to do something proportional to rebalance...The evil gods can't kill the good gods alone without whiping out realityThe good gods can't kill the evil gods alone without whiping out realityThe netural gods are always the tie breaker... and they will side with balance, so keep both sides in check.Team Good only wants goodTeam Evil only wants evilTeam Neutral (the true winners here) want the balance.the most evil team evil can get is minor victories that always rebalancethe most good team good can get is minor victories that always rebalance.Team evil is always cheating (and as such giving team good a chance to counter balance) but Team good beleives given infinite time even with the current god MAD agreement, mortals will make a good world (the gods have faith in us) so they are biding there time until the good is so overwhelming that the neutral gods can not stop it even with the hard reset they already tried...</blockquote>
