[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 7449118, member: 79428"] In my personal cosmology it is believed that committing "Good" acts causes the Multiverse to drift closer to the Undying Light (Positive Energy Plane), and "Evil" acts cause it to drift closer to the Endless Night (Negative Energy Plane). "Good" and "Evil" are abstractions of the forces of Radiant and Necrotic Energy. Good is concerned with protecting life and promoting the desire to live. Evil does not value life and promotes the desire to bring life to an end. The devils' goal, the reason they need souls, is to collect the Radiant Energy contained within them while also committing acts that bring the Multiverse's inhabitants closer to annihilation by the Negative Energy Plane. The devils can then use the collected Radiant Energy to protect themselves and transform the Hells into a paradise while everything they oppose is destroyed, leaving them free to reshape what's left of the Multiverse to their own ends. The forces of "Good" have a similar goal, except that they want to use the Positive Energy Plane's influence instead and rely on a divine fortress composed of belief to protect them. I feel this gives philosophies of intentional Neutrality more of a reason to exist. "Good" and "Evil" forces believe in an inevitable apocalypse that they want to be on the right side of, whereas Neutrality wants to try and maintain the status quo. There are also those who believe that an apocalypse is inevitable, but that there will be no winner in the war between Good and Evil, only mutual destruction. In one view, the Planes Above will taken into the Undying Light, the Planes Below will be absorbed by the Endless Night, and the Planes Between (including the Material Plane) will fall into the Far Realm. Another view holds that the forces of Chaos will be led by Ygorl, Lord of Entropy, to rise again after their ancient defeat and reduce the whole of the Multiverse into unrealizable potentiality, keeping it safe, in a fashion, from the Planes Beyond.
