[QUOTE="Sol.Dragonheart, post: 3687798, member: 54316"] Shar is actually fairly nihilistic. If she had her way, all light, including the star that warms Toril, and by extension, life on Toril itself, would not exist. Talona furthers the spread of disease and plague, causing destruction to virtually all life. Cyric I can comprehend a self serving character worshipping, especially considering how invaluable his areas of dominion are to those seeking to gain positions of power in the political sense. That's a good point about the philosophies an evil character might hold, in any case. I also have to agree that an evil deity would have no compunction against rewarding faithful service, especially when it furthers their own ends to have powerful servants. On a personal level, I can certainly see why people might follow an evil deity, yet I still consider how certain deities such as Talona or Shar might successfully integrate themselves into society as a whole, to gain worshippers on a larger scale.
