Alignment

“	♪I won't see you in the afterlife in that case Because you're Lawful and Chaotic Good am I And I don't think they'll let me hang at your place. O buddy Roy, O buddy Roy, why did you die?♪	”
	— Elan

A character's Alignment is a categorization of the ethical and moral perspective of people, creatures and societies. In D&D, the alignment is a combination of two facets - Law vs. Chaos, and Good vs. Evil.

The Outer Planes are agglomerations of strong ideas, whose organizational structure matches the D&D alignment system.
