Yeah. I think I have a bleaker view of human nature than you do--not only unscrupulous, but rather short-sighted--and certainly a more black-and-white view of things in general. Definitely cool to see it interpreted otherwise.

Well, yeah. I mean, I'm not denying the people do stupid, bone-headed, short-sighted things. But they usually do so because it furthers their self-perception that:
1) They are helping other people.
2) They are helping themselves.

Given the being a Genti priest usually means a quick, violent death at the hands of a Shea... Blade and in return gives you... uh... nothing at all, I can't assume that it could possibly by in category 2. Or, perhaps, Genti priests get some side benefits that I don't know about?

Honestly, though, all the priests in your world are about personal sacrifice for the good of humanity, really giving yourself up to do what needs to be done. And you you have a bleak view of human nature! :-)

*Grins*. True. There are benefits, actually--a pretty classic "bringing death/despair/general bad luck to your enemies" as well as Magic Stuff--but it's still cool to see someone doing it for other reasons.
