Even a demon can love, or so they say. Though we use DnD alignments to describe morality and ethics, we're using human morality to view the gameworld.I'm sorry I spoke of DnD alignments before without explaining this situation, but, having played this way for years I'd forgotten that this way isn't cannon.My character sees slavery as evil because it strips humans of their rights and dignity. That is her moral view of the situation. Slavery is evil, but capturing, beating, raping, and dehumanizing slaves is Evil.  Those who actively go out and 'harvest' for the farm are the ones she wants to make die. People who own slaves are wrong, not evil; they don't deserve death, they deserve to be shown right and stop slavery.However, I can only speak for my character.  Each God will tell you what is Good and Evil, and they're all different. None of the Gods admit to being Evil, they point the finger at one another. Alerum, Lord of Justice, the most recognisably Good god by modern morality, says Sarx, God of Strife, is Evil.  But Sarx has good reasons to back up the things he does, and those who follow him are taught that the church of Alerum is foolish for their beliefs, even if their God is powerful.My character holds such a 'modern morality' because she was raised by the Temple of Alerum, and believes that his path is true, even if she does not walk it. She wears his symbol, and though it is Holy, and she a demon, she suffers no ill effects- Alerum wants her to walk the just path.By modern standards, slavery is illegal and immoral, and Melissa shares these opinions. However, when a Power tells you you're completely justified in your actions, even if other Gods disagree, it's hard to see yourself as Evil.- Kemrain the Moral Relativist by the Gods' Will.</blockquote>
