There\'s nothing evil about the dark way, it just depends on how you use it.

Laanx and Talad were Gods before the races ever existed in Yliakum. Laanx and Talad were beautiful and harmonious; they were inquisitive and always looking for new knowledge to enrich their eternal lives. Laanx was a tall and perfectly shaped female with long, white hair as silky as the threads of a spider\'s web. Her lunar skin reflected the azure beams of the crystal and refracted the light into hypnotic patterns as alluring as her dancing, ruby-coloured eyes.


That goddess!

Owl you might want to read that a little bit further. You might just have the answer to why Draklar asked his question.

Oh, then go through rest of the setting and you\'ll get to know that Laanx isn\'t a female anymore :)

And btw, Grono is wrong. Dark Way uses cursing and controling others. Using them to do good is like saying \"Using evil ways to do good\", which proves enough :P

Are you referring to the \"misspelling\" i noticed after studying that ancient tome?!

I will review the ancient texts once more, but only once! ;)

How would you do something good in a good way? Diplomacy? Pff, we\'ve tried that and we found it didn\'t work. We just have to convince the politicians now.

Besides, the dark way can be used for healing and resurrection of friends just as well as the crystal way can, you just need someone to take something from - prefferably an enemy, or something. But just because you \"borrow\" life doesn\'t make it bad. Causing death and destruction isn\'t a bad thing either, it just depends on who you slaughter mercilessly, and why you\'re doing it. :)

Yes, that\'s what I said:
Using evil ways to do good :P
Like causing destruction in order to stop \"bad guy\" ;)

Yes, evil can be used to destroy evil. Take the Punisher for example, instead of diplomacy or leaving it up to the cops, he kills all people he thinks is bad in the name of good. Using light against light I can\'t think of though... Perhaps using diplomacy and rightiousness to trick people into your views so you can later lead them down a dark path? Like the dark side?

But yeah any power can be used by the opposite to take down their enemy. Power is power, and power can be harnessed by all despite the owner\'s alignment. Supposedly Laanx is \"evil\" but if creating your own race out of lonelyness to only get smashed in the genitals and face later isn\'t reason enough to be a bit moody and being the enemy of all that live under Talad is evil, then I don\'t want to be right :P
