Niuri, a Goddess of Evil?

To the blind.

This is too all who cannot discern between a mortal, and a Divine realm.

The Lady Goddess Niuri is the Goddess of Mystery. Mystery encompasses
all aspects of life, after life, unlife, before life, and well pretty
much whatever you want to try to comprehend, if you can comprehend it.

For me to even need to write this posting is outright disturbing, but it
seems even those who claim to be enlightened need things to be spelt out
to them. To claim Lady Niuri an Evil Goddess, you must also claim Lord
Rahn an Evil God for having one of the highest ranking members of his
order to be an Infernal at one point, you must also claim Lord Arion to
be an Evil God for allowing Infernals, Indorani, Syssin, and perhaps
even Consaguine into His Order. If you base Niuri's realm to be evil due
to the practices of a few of Her Ordermembers, then so must you do to
all of the Gods that patron You in one form or another. It is no
different and to hinder people from a strong devotion to their God is
pathetic, it's the same thing you all are doing. Am I calling you
hypocritical when you badger members of your beloved city and home for
doing the same thing you are doing. Yes, Yes I am.

Another claim is Niuri is evil due to the fact that the CABALISTS and
OCCULTISTS had enslaved two angels for the Emperor Golgotha. As a voice
of Niuri, and as a prominent member of the Cabal at that time, Niuri had
no hand in such an act. It was all mortals with the exception of Emperor
Golgotha, the Emperor of Chaos. Niuri doesn't make the Cabal, Niuri is
Matron yes, but to say She is evil just because of a guild would be once
again hypocritical as Lord Arion, and Lord Rahn both have Patroned
members of 'evil' aligned guilds.

In short, Niuri isn't of an alignment. Comprehend this as it is with
most Gods. They 'are'. She is. Arion is. They embody their realm,
Niuri's is Mystery which is not evil, not good, not light, not dark...
it is Mystery. To even claim alignment on such will only hinder yourself
from seeing any truth in anything.

Don't base one God off of a mortal, if you do that you have to do it to
all Gods even those ones that patron you.
