Neutrality, and the basis of the Rhythm

Greetings to you, Myslani Lamia.
Being one who follows the Paths governed by neutrality, I feel that I
must gently correct your misinterpretation of the balance of Good and
Evil in the realms.
First, the essence of being neutral means just that - remaning neutral.
Within the Rhythm there is neither good nor evil, right nor wrong,
simply the natural cycle of life and death which propel the world
forward. In that "Good" and "Evil" are foreign to Nature, it does not
behoove Nature to care one way or the other if someone is "Good" or if
someone is "Evil."
Secondly, being neutral does not mean becoming the doormat of the
Universe. Those who follow neutral or natural paths away from the
balance of good and evil still remain true to ideals and beliefs. Those
who follow the Paths of Haern are devoted to preserving the cycle of
Nature as it exists naturally in the realms. Those who disrupt this
natural cycle are subsequently punished by those who protect it. This is
why Spirokai and his allies are, as you put it, "persecuted." Any others
who follow in their footsteps should know that the same punishment
awaits them also.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Remember this
when you choose to disrupt the balance of Nature.
With kind regards,
Lady Rosalind Snowbringer
