[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2901601, member: 11697"] They aren't just Good though, except perhaps the Guardinals. The Good fraction of an Archon or Eladrin's alignment isn't in any way more important than the Law or Chaos that comprises their being and defines them. There is no big G and little l or little c. It's LG and CG, not lG and cG. Archons may in some ways view Law and Good as the exact same thing, or two aspects of a unified and glorified whole. An Eladrin in their eyes is imperfect in that respect, misguided equally in the same way that Modrons or Formians are. To an Eladrin they look at Archons in much the same way, misguided in their conception of and approach to what it means to be Good. Eladrin see Good and Chaos as complementary concepts, both of exact equal merit. You think these guys will forget one half of what they exemplify to hold hands and fight fiends that in some cases might vary by no more than the same amount those two celestials differ in alignment? :) The upper planes are rather cool towards one another at the best of times. It's not a monolithic Good, despite the wishes of the Guardinals, but a trio of seperate alignments who mutually view each other as benevolent but ultimately flawed from the true path of perfection. Then on top of it you've got Aasimon/Angels who could care less about abstract alignments and exist as servants of their divine patrons' whims and portfolio concerns. [/QUOTE]
