[QUOTE="Nifelhein, post: 1166077, member: 14129"] Well, the books say one did, but when he realized what he did to his people he just put an end to his own life. By the way i think Wil was not saying on that side of the coin, but evil wouldn't, necessarily, support Izrador's followers, Good, Neutral and even Evil can all fight the Shadow together, for they want a better world, a world with balance or just a world for himself, Izrador won't leave any of them. Anyway the BBEG is a god that has no phisycal presence, makes no appearences and is mostly simbolic, you could even say that he was a good god that has been turned evil by some reason and is now under torpor, the legates are under the grasp os this corruptor and take their power from a god. Book of Vile Darkness also has a prestige class that is a draining caster, he takes power from a god that he is not a follower of. That can be what legates truly are, the good god was the one that actually sacrificed his vessel to seal the world from evil and has fallen in an eternal slumber. A powerful mortal found this god's existence and has developed a way to draw power from him/her, creating a floklore around a god of evil and the like, he would have taken a long way to inperson that and make many believe it... He is the true shadow and one that not only can be defeated, but can also be left aside, for the god can be awaken by some unknwon means. There are just too many takes on Midnight, this one can make for some very good options that would result in a world of struggle: the legates are cleric of a mortal entity, they draw power from a good god, this god, once awakened, would get followers, true clerics. Anyway imagination is awesome. [/QUOTE]
