[QUOTE="Dark Jezter, post: 846507, member: 1015"] Unfortunately, characters don't possess seperate alignments depending on how they treat each race. It would be stupid for a paladin to be have this written on his alignment sheet: "Lawful Good, except when dealing with orcs, at which point he becomes lawful evil." And I would even doubt that Sun Elves act chaotic good towards other elves; they are patronizing towards the moon elves and basically view them as misguided children, and the sun elves also believe that they should "civilize" the wild elves. I also found it amusing that Races of Faerun said that they view aquatic elves as "near-equals"; sun elves don't just think of themselves as being inherently "better" than nonelves, but they also believe they are above other elven subraces as well. By the way, it dosen't list anywhere in Races of Faerun or the FRCS that sun elves are usually Chaotic Good, so you can't really say "as listed." No, the sun elves don't commit genocide against humans (except for the elf supremecy group, the Eldreth Veluthraa, but they only have a small amount of members), which is why I've classified most of them as Lawful Neutral. Although with their mindset that they are racially superior over pretty much everyone else, it would be easy for many of them to slide into the Lawful Evil alignment. [/QUOTE]
