Where to find

Devils, demons, mind flayers, Drow, Githyanki. What do such creatures have in common? Conventional wisdom suggests that it is that quality we call 'evil'. But how wise is this really? After all, scrape one layer beneath the surface, and one finds that there are other common denominators - perhaps far more common to the individual experience than the ill-defined notion of 'evil'.


[The following pages seem to detail various arguments for the origins of evil finding its root in generational suffering, the gods, the self, and the environment, but settle on no firm conclusions.]
