Since there's been something of an outcry again this thread, I'll make a few final responses and then let it drop.

This can only be true if you make the assumption that this reality is subjective. I'm challenging that assumption, so this issue isn't really pertinent.

I sure this may outrage a few people on the list, but I think the Red Goddess is corrupt. That's certainly the perspective on the Lunars in RQ2, and while I like a lot of the stuff that's been written on the empire and exploring how it thinks, I retain the sense that the Empire is based on corrupt principles.
Either Chaos is inherently evil or it isn't. Either the Orlanthi are right and the Lunars are wrong, or vice versa. The two cultures hold incompatible beliefs on this issue. So the whole subjective issue founders here, because both positions cannot be true simultaneously. You've made an objective decision that Chaos is not inherently evil.
>> Ompalam, the god of slavery and subjegation,
I wasn't aware that he was retconned into being unchaotic. Where did this happen?
