[QUOTE="SSquirrel, post: 4383493, member: 5202"] If you're going to quote, quote fully. Avandra says: "Change is inevitable, but it takes the work of the faithful to ensure that change is for the better." Change is inevitable, but she isn't trying to overthrow everything. She sounds far more libertarian, which is based on personal freedom that doesn't encroach on other's freedoms. This reads to me as "good". Also, if she was Erathis' opposite, wouldn't Erathis be Evil? *grin* But Erathis is a god of judges and thus neutral. The law cannot be biased. EDIT:A bit more here She is the female goddess that embodies the violence of nature and the fury of the storm. How is that inherently evil? "Yeah Ma Nature is a real hosebeast this week, tornado took out my farm" "Didn't it also take out 3 square acres of woods nearby?" "Yeah but it's MY farm!" Another couple of PHB quotes: "A few unaligned people, and most unaligned deities, aren’t undecided about alignment. Rather, they’ve chosen not to choose, either because they see the benefits of both good and evil or because they see themselves as above the concerns of morality." "Protect the wild places of the world from destruction and overuse. Oppose the rampant spread of cities and empires. Do not fear or condemn the savagery of nature. Live in harmony with the wild." Mother nature has no morals, just action. The second quote says to me that Melora would be against strip mining, rapid deforestation and urban sprawl, but not so much that she would be against the spread of humanity, so long as they can live with nature and not just try to control it. The key word here is extremists. Not the middle of the road, followers of the exact word of the god. Those who believe in a very skewed version of her faith. Extremists of any god could have done the same. [/QUOTE]
