Message: <blockquote data-quote="med stud" data-source="post: 1603554" data-attributes="member: 1211">After trying to create a world where there were pure Good and pure Evil countries and areas I realized that the Evil countries would get their asses kicked in no time by the good ones; a genuinly good society would mean that people would look out for each other and help each other do their work. Like a communist economy that would actually work. The evil countries would be full of backstabbing and political intrigue combined with repressed lower classes.Instead the world is grey with some exceptions. Paladins are one of those exceptions; they are pure white Lawful Good. Other exceptions are of course outsiders. The darker grey areas are areas where people have traded in comfortability and freedom for security. A classic case is in an area where civil wars had raged for a long time. The church of Hextor went in and promised the population stability in exchange for their freedom. Hextor puts up heavy rules but if you follow them you can be pretty sure that you wont be raped, murdered or homeless.A light grey area is where the rulers listen to the paladins and good clerics in exchange for their help. The rulers cant abuse power like rulers normally can but on the other hand are they far from rebellion.Same goes for Law and Chaos, manifested in order vs creativity in the case of normal human beings. The philosophers of law want to keep the feudal code as it is and generally dont want to change anything. The chaotics want to tear it all up. This means that Lawful good countries can have more problem with the Chaotic goods than the Lawful evils in some circumstances ^^</blockquote>
