[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8842135, member: 18182"] In the home campaign I've been working on . . . on-and-off for years, not yet played . . . The gods switch from Good-Neutral-Evil to Law-Neutral-Chaos. The Cataclysm happened pretty much as written, but was not the work of "good" deities. During the War of the Lance, Paladine has shifted towards being truly "good", and is regretful over the Cataclysm and is working to heal the wounds caused to the world and its peoples. He's still primarily lawful, and still a bit pissed at the Kingpriest . . . . Paladine pre-Cataclysm is "Old Testament" and Paladine post-Cataclysm is more "New Testament". Other Gods of Law have leaned towards Good longer . . . Mishakal has always been nice! She objected to the collective decision to smite Istar, and is the catalyst to bring the gods back to Krynn to help its peoples, by "breaking" the divine law and gifting the Blue Crystal Staff to Goldmoon. The peoples of Krynn, like early the early D&D game itself, often conflate "law" with "good", and so often view the "Gods of Law" as good deities, even though that isn't really true (in my campaign, that is). They also tend to conflate "chaos" with "evil" . . . but not all of the "Gods of Chaos" are actually evil . . . . Tiamat certainly is! Oops, Takhisis. [/QUOTE]
