*looks at Larder*
Pure efficiency for an everlasting empire is not the sole domain of Good. Slavery breeds the kind of resentment and despair that invites Daemon infestations, which was precisely what we saw in Tyrosh, and which is why Braavos is planning to invade Pentos. It's more common sense to abolish slavery than it is Good.
You mean the Larder is missing 95% of the undead(I'm assuming about 5% of all undeads, are not beings we want to sacrifice) it's also missing every inhabitant of the Abyss Hell and Abaddon.
"Make the world a better place" is a suitable motivation for every alignment.
I'm already in the DOOM quest. Those pictures of DOOM rejecting godhood I posted in this thread and that people repost every thousand pages or so? I posted them in that thread originally, and only then got the idea to use them about Viserys.
Viserys is absolutely not morally gray. People get all squeamish about sacrifices, but so far we've sacrificed nobody that we wouldn't have killed anyway. We're not hunting down innocent victims to sacrifice them, we're lawfully executing enemies of humanity.
I'd raise that all of this depends heavily on The Who and the attitudes of this time period, but that just goes back to Azel's argument about context.
You can finagle it all you want, abolishing slavery will always be a unambiguously good deed. I mean, look at Dany's canon run. If she hadn't run the whole anti-slavery thing she'd be a completely evil character, it's that one thing which pushes her into the protagonist category rather than a villain.
Did Rhaegar? Did Elia? Did Rheanys or Aegon? Would you call Robert Baratheon a Good King?
Still waiting to see if we find out Viserys is hooked up to some Eldritch abomination That's feeding him knowledge of the future IC.
@DragonParadox would it work while we are ethereal?
No. But that guy really needed to go.
Did they all deserve to suffer in the completely unnecessary Sack?
I blame the Dragon dreams and Viserys being a Dragon himself.
Dragons usually don't make very effective rulers...
Viserys has most of the benefit of being a Dragon without much of the drawbacks. He never had to deal with a dragon's mentality, instincts and world view that much.
Yes but that's also why he is as bad as he is, if he was inserted into a standard heroic fantasy setting, he would be way less likely to do much of the morally grey stuff he do, as he do it because he has to do it in order to fix the shithole that's Planetos, in a less shithole world, he wouldn't feel the need to go to such extremes.
Motivations matter. Slavery is horribly inefficient and a security risk to boot, so it has to go. The Good or Evil of it is irrelevant.
If we're going by this quest? Yes, Rhaegar had it coming for what he did to Lyanna. He's a very bad example for the point you're trying to make.
I'm really not sure what your point is with this.
What's the CR for a Beholder? I've been wanting to kill one of those for a while but haven't yet managed to find a proper charactersheet.
