[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 3326833, member: 24969"] My elves and fey are lawful, even hyper-lawful. The elven culture is governed completly by the laws as given to them by the gods and as further written by the groups of elves empowered by the gods to do so. The most dangerous elf one can have as an enemy is an elven lawyer, because if you're found guilty and sentenced to a punishement in an elven court of law, it typically carries weight with the entire elven people no matter of the deatails of the case. The original split between the Drow and the other elves came from the Drow gods wanting to return to a more neutral state. They were found guilty of offending the law and the Drow races sentenced to death. Fey are move governed by unwritten rules and traditions. If a person knows of the rules when dealing with the fey, all is usually good. To those who don't, they can seem very chaotic when their attitude towards somebody turns from friendly to murderous in a just a few seconds, because they made the mistake of commiting some unintuitive insult such as offering food to the fey with the left hand on a Tuesday. All of these race's cultures are primarily fixated on law versus chaos in struggle and usually ingnore good versus evil as they see such as merely a personal choice. [/QUOTE]
