Default Re: Which nations most represent chaos or evil?

Heh, well, as I said, it is a defensible position that humans as a rule are evil - it's an equally defensible position that they are not.

Still, the fact remains that the vast majority of the nations in Dominions have some attributes that our modern society would regard as good and others that our society would regard as evil, and which are emphasized in the game is largely dependent upon who their pretender is. This is arguably true even of early and mid R'lyeh - the Elder Things in At the Mountains of Madness are no more and no less evil than human beings, and late R'lyeh is only evil because of its world-destroying dreamland dominion. There are also a handful of obvious good-evil dichotomies set within the same mythological backdrop, e.g. Tir'na n'Og versus Fomoria, Vanheim versus Helheim, Vanheim versus Niefelheim, Kailasa versus Lanka, etc. Apart from the bad sides of these pairings, the only other undeniably evil nations I can identify are late Ermor and late R'lyeh. Everybody else depends on your god.
