[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2765153, member: 11697"] Indeed. As Formians have been presented in 3e they are nowhere near being personifications of Lawful Neutrality. They're not even native to Mechanus, being refugees from Arcadia. And worse, on Arcadia where they originated, they were LN touched with LG while the expansionist 3e ones in Mechanus, as depicted, are LN heavily tainted by LE. The Formians in 3e are a wholesale species transplant to Acheron in waiting. While I've largely ignored the Formians as presented in 3e, they make little sense given their origins, I've toyed with the idea that the 3e versions are the way they are because of the events that fostered the slide of their layer in Arcadia into Mechanus. They might eventually adapt to Mechanus, or be obliterated by either the Modrons, or more likely by the Parai, or they'll eventually be rejected by Mechanus itself as it shunts a chunk of itself, Formians included, into Acheron.
