Evil

I am not Evil. I simply study Death. When I was a Druid, I studied the
cycle of Life and Death. When I became an Infernal, did I cross that
dividing line between Good and Evil? No, I simply choose to study Death
in more detail. Did I change much as a person? No, I do not believe so.
Good is those who call themselves Good and Evil is what they call Evil.
They are not polar opposites, defining and dividing the world into two
camps. They are names, which people apply to things, people, ideas, and
even Divinities.
I am an Infernal, and you are a Paladin, yet you and I may have much
more in common than I would have with someone else you label Evil.
Understand, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. I'm simply saying it is
necessary to recognise it and judge accordingly. Perhaps you already
felt this way about Good and Evil. If so, wonderful, maybe we will
convince somebody else. If not, I would be glad to speak with you about
this more privately.
