[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 1909288, member: 3146"] All well and good but you have to get down to the question of [i]what[/i] it describes sooner or later. And if it's actually incoherent or, to use Fusangite's words, a poor aggregate, then it doesn't consistently describe anything at all. Again, all well and good, but what are you going to say when someone asks, "well, what's so bad about chaos?" What is this "law?" that is so restrictive? Is our legal guarantee of free speech lawful or chaotic? Going from your description, I don't really see any reason to consider the elves chaotic and the dwarves lawful. Preservation of culture, traditions, and rule of law vs. "say what you mean and mean what you say, let no friend go unaided and no enemy unchallenged" honor doesn't really sound too compelling as a grand philosophical divide since, they are really rather similar.
