As a druid I must speak for nature, but I also must try to seek, and promote, balance.
Since I have been in and around Hlint, I have seen many acts of good, but, by and large, many more evil than good.
I have seen orcs and goblins, generally thought of as evil, go out of their way to help strangers in need. But, also, though it pains me somewhat to say it, I have seen paladins, supposed warriors for law and good go out of their way to slaughter entire tribes of goblin and ogres purely for personal profit. They make a desert and call it peace! These do not strike me as acts of good. Or even acts of neutrality or balance. These are evil acts.
Perhaps I just do not know. I do not know the precepts of Toran. Perhaps he does call his people to engage in wholesale slaughter in his name. But don't these so called 'monsters' deserve a voice as well? I am not the one for this task. I would slay them as well, in my own defence or the defence of someone I cared for. But there must be balance.
These things do raid settlements and kill innocents, but I believe their settlements are raided and they are killed FAR more often. I must think about this further. Perhaps there is someone I can discuss it with.
