Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zweischneid" data-source="post: 1742305" data-attributes="member: 11843">In the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, the King is considered a direct representation of the Hindu God Vishnu and likely the only Monarch left on Earth worshipped as a God.On June 1st, 2001, the heir to the throne, crown prince Dipendra, a rather instable fellow with a fondness for Drugs and Guns went on a killing spree, killing the reigning King Birenda along with most of the royal family before turning the weapon upon himself. When King Birenda was found dead the details of the massacre still unclear, but his son and heir Prince Dipendra merely comatose, Prince Dipendra was declared King on June 2nd. Now King Dipendra died on June 3rd though, he never regained conciousness. But because of his 24 hour reign he was considered a god by his people, and a god could never be charged with the hideous crimes Prince Dipendra apparently commited. In consequence, they had a very high ranking Bhraman Priest take on the guilt of former King Dipendra upon his own soul, demolishing all his upcoming incarnations by the sins laid upon his shoulders.The priest indulged in the meat of cows (the most holy animal of hinduism) and alcohol, sex and a score of other drugs and vices forbidden to religious hindus and especially Bhramans. He put on the clothes and personal belongings of the former Crown Prince to bind the bad Karma to himself and left Nepal and India behind.. exiled for life, never to return. By this, the stain on Prince/King Dipendras Soul was cleansed. His troubled Soul granted a more pleasant next Incarnation while the Priest by Hindu lore, will be thrown into the deepest Hells, and will never again in all eternity have a chance on a decent Incarnation in the future.  The people of Nepal considered the Priests sacrifice to be something very, very honorable, but his acts to be something most profoundly evil. The very fact that they were evil made his actions honorable in the first place.. if you want.Same things could be said for your Paladin above. By turning undead, he does something very courageous and honorable.. but, by a set of believes that divide the world into good and evil, he also commits an act of evil. These things are not mutually exclusive.</blockquote>
