They enforce moral principles, plugged directly into your soul. There would be no curruption in a Lawful Good Theocracy. By enforcable means, corrupt folks would be kept out of government. Imagine that everyone in the government really was Lawful Good, guaranteed by a God that is omniscient and LG him/herself.Taxes would always be fair, and never wasted on personal pleasures. Hmm, now that I think about it, Arcane magic isn't so unbalancing. Divine Magic is. A truly Lawful Good society would be so good at organizing and going on crusades, while being fair and honest at the same time, why wasn't the world pacified years ago? Ach, right, because of Grumsh and Erynthul.------------------------------------------------------As for the Teleportation Circle, it could be the only thing that makes civilization possible. Remember, its not bandits in them thar hills, its Orcs and Ogres. A web of cities connected by a Teleportation web might be the only reliable means of trade and travel. So, it was the Romans who build the first great Portal-Web, and civilizations to this day have always used it. We aren't sure where they all go though ...Irda Ranger</blockquote>
