If you're a selfish, rotten sort of a person with an anger management problem, which is going to appeal to you better: trying to reform and go against your (initial) nature, so that the gods of Good will smile upon you; or bowing down before the gods of Evil, and going about much as you already did?Yeah. It's always important to keep in mind that although Good and Evil (the capitalized alignments) exist and are most definitely objective, it's an entirely subjective matter as to which is better. So, to an Evil person, Evil is good and Good is bad; for a Good person, it's obviously the opposite.Edit: About the three FR deities mentioned in the initial post: Shar, Cyric and Talona.Shar's the goddess of darkness, loss, sorrow and forgetfulness; I'd think most of her worshipers and clerics start off as desperate, depressed people who are just trying to forget some overwhelming sorrow or pain. As far as evil gods go, she's not very malignant (unless you care about the Shadow Weave), though she is malicious.Cyric's more like a god for the psychopaths: the ambitious, vain, self-centered people with a superiority complex. His followers probably start off a bit unhinged to begin with, and only get worse.Talona... well, she's a literally malignant deity, probably appealing to rather pathological cases most of the time. She is, appropriately enough, a much more minor deity than either Shar or Cyric.</blockquote>
