The whole idea of evil and good sounds to christian to me. Especialy the concept of absolute good and evil. I mean i don't realy see harum or yorka or even sinister as evil gods just gods of War, death, and darkness, which can be evil but can be good depending on your point of view. I mean the death of your enemies during a war in which you used the cover of darkness to sneak attack them is not evil to you it is good. Anyway i sure hope we don't use alignments in this game. That would suck. Besides i cant think of one ancient mythology with an evil god in it besides christian. Norse had Loki but he was more god of mischif. Hades in greek isn't really evil but just guards the underworld. Even satan in hebrew myths is more a god of mischief then evil. Read Job in the old testimate. He actualy comes to heaven and makes a bet with god. Joshua 'Azlok' Corning hook@majik3d.org
