About the Emperor and Orpheus
Posted On: June 7, 2024

I'll say right away that this is not a debate about who is better, just information.


Lately, I've often been told that the Emperor is evil only because the illithids in the bestiary are monsters and are lawful evil. So the githyanki were also monsters in the D&D bestiary for the first time (and apparently they are still in the monster category: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Monster_Manual_5th_edition ) and are lawful evil. I mean, it's somehow wrong to operate with this information, given that both races are in the same position here.


Question from user BubblyCountry8643 at BaldursGate3 at reddit.com.


Answer:

Oh please.


People love Astarion.


The mindset of Yes hes human-eating abomination, but Im sure hes still mean good at heart! is quite popular.
