[QUOTE="Squire James, post: 453382, member: 548"] (Vlad series spoilers ahead... don't go here if you care about such things and have not read the whole series) . . . . . . . . . . . V I thought it was pretty clear that Vlad's actions while he was an assassin were evil. He might have been on the "upper side" of evil, near the Neutral line, but he was clearly "below the line" at Lawful Evil until he quit the assassin business. After he quit, he obviously crossed the line to True Neutral and has been moving "diagnally up the chart" toward Chaotic Good ever since. By the end of "Issola", he's probably still Neutral but very close to the Chaotic Good line. Morollan and Aliera are tougher calls, at least after Issola. I always had Morollan pegged at Lawful Evil (who happened to be good to his friends), but the last book has convinced me to give him the benefit of the doubt and make him Lawful Neutral. Aliera is an enigma... my gut feeling is that she's a Lawful Good with a bad temper, a little shaky on both the Lawful and the Good. I was taking bets that Morollan was secretly Mario, but I've seen enough to say no to that now. My next "sneaky Mario theory" is Kragar, who's probably the only person in the world the Orb wouldn't notice until it was too late... As for my assessment of other characters in the series: LG for Lady Teldra, NG for Sethra Lavode, CN for Daymar, NE "near the line" for Kragar, and I'd rate Cawti as Neutral (all four alignment components seem to be tugging her about equally). If you need an alignment for Kiera then you haven't read all the books, but I'd considered splitting off the Sethra aspect as LG and the Kiera aspect as CG ("averaging out" to NG). [/QUOTE]
