[QUOTE="fearsomepirate, post: 7965708, member: 7021420"] Good aligned deities create good things. Good things want to create and build harmonious societies. Evil aligned deities create evil things. Evil things want to destroy and inflict suffering. This is why the Good deities want to destroy the works of Evil and the Evil deities want to destroy the works of Good. Corellon does not want to reform Gruumsh's children; he wants to rid the world of them. It really depends on your setting. Sounds like you're so used to your setting have orcs just be really ugly humans who were raised badly that you assume that's how they work in every setting, but it needn't be so. What if an orc is the sort of creature that, if raised by elven parents since a baby, and taught to care for nature and all living things, will inevitably hear the call of Gruumsh in his soul at puberty, murder his parents, and eat their hearts?
