In my setting, the world has been cut off from the gods, so those races (those that still exist, anyway) have had time to adjust to the absence of their gods. Some of them aren't evil anymore, in ways that I try to make still consistent with their cultures; some still are. It's part of why I haven't put the characters I specifically asked to be willing to be heroes in a position to kill off a whole tribe--closest they've come has been a rather large hobgoblin expeditionary force, which they extirpated forthwith.</p></blockquote><p></p>
