The Road to 5.0

Well, I can't limit my justice-bringing to just one world! [/sarcasm]

Thanks for your answer.

Then the question is, who are truly evil in your eyes? We know that Varis idea of solving the problem with the primals is genocide. That alone should make someone really morally black. The only reason some might consider genocide a necessary task is, if there are no other options and leaving them alive would kill everyone else. None of that really can be said about the beast tribes, since we do know that this would also mean the death of all of those that are not tempered and want just to live in peace. Also what if they find out that everyone could summon a primal if they have enough belief and crystals? What if he find out that echo user could theoretically turn into primals without losing their minds? Would he start a echo user hunt too?

We also know thanks to the theater group, that the former emporer was still allowing any kind of art to happen, even those that might be a bit negative towards them. They said that Varis does not allow that and only allows something that he likes, thus there is no true freedom of speech under him either and that kinda makes him into a dictator. Who knows if those nobels are just puppets that can be killed if they are not following his view. I mean he had no problem sending in soldiers to shot down a ship with another opposing partie in it, so he is not bellow killing those that could be a danger to his rule.

Then his reaction to the death of his son that surely was not born as such a messed up person and now he is even working with Elidibus. He might have other reasons for doing it but he is still working with those that are the reasons that beast tribes even know how to summon primals.

And then we have all the other horrible things like human experimentation as an example. He as the head must have known of them. Yet nothing was done thus they are probably given a pass by him.

I am just curious of what he should still need to do to be seen as at least slightly evil by you. (Again just curious, I am agreeing with a lot of your points too.)

In the end the english word evil has a lot of different words for in german and for me this just means that he is a bad person, that does or orders quite some bad things. Maybe I could say it more around: I find Varis to be a bad person, who is imo a morally black person thanks to his actions and plans.
