True Lawful characters believe that order and rules are of paramount importance for the continuation and advancement of society. The individuals in a society are important, yes, but True Law recognizes that not everyone can expect to win every time. Everybody has to accept some constraints, so less fortunate souls can come up in the world. A system of Law is always preferable to rank, howling anarchy, but even in orderly societies, there is much work to be done. Laws merely for the sake or spreading either weal or woe are bad laws, and should be challenged and revoked. If the society is so corrupt or vainglorious that it cannot change from within, then force of arms will carry the day. Short-term pain is perfectly acceptable to gain long-term stability and prosperity, measured within a framework of fair and equal rules for everyone. | ||
