Most evil acts are not seen as evil (or at least as excusable and/or nescesary) by the people doing it.That might also be a good political issue/plot. In a nation with conflicts running along racial lines brutal methods might "solve" (that is remove) the problem:A mainly human-dominated nation has a strong conflict between elves wanting to protect the forrest and deliver "beauty and song" and dwarves using the forest for coal and mine-support delivering gold and jewelry. The conflict results in none of them delivering anything, and the resource situation is such that only one of them can deliver. Killing off _all_ of one of the races will end the conflict, and ensure delivery of the goods from the other race.So, why not have one opponent suggest killing off the dwarves to perserve beauty, song and the forrests. All the noble reasons, none of the noble methods <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Håkon</blockquote>
