[QUOTE="D_E, post: 3999709, member: 49225"] In my opinion, the Blood War is just as much about the nature of good and evil as it is about law and chaos. Good's about forgiveness, understanding, and unity, so the good outsiders can live with each other and even work together. Evil's about hatred, selfishness, and trechery, so the evil outsiders try to kill each other. The Blood War continues because neither evil faction is strong enough to take on all the good factions at once, so they're stuck in the lower planes. Likewise, the good factions can't attack the lower planes because 1) both evil factions are smart enough not to let the other fall into the hands of the forces of good, and 2) because although the good factions tolerate each other and work together in the short term, they can't get along in the long term because each reguards the other as being on the wrong track and halfway fallen. So it's a stalemate. However, nothing says this stalemate has to last forever. There's plenty of evidence that the balance of the War shifts, and that said balance depends ultimatly on mortals. So an especially powerful party could become involved with the War in a very meaningful way, or even end it. That's my two cents on why the Blood War's not as bad as some seem to think. [/QUOTE]
