Lawful
The universe has an ultimate, irrefutable truth, and
a flawless, unchanging plan towards which all events
inevitably march. As time moves on, all distraction
and resistance to this plan falters until everything is in
its perfect state forevermore, without alteration or the
possibility of possibilities. Those who are Lawful in
alignment are part of an inevitable destiny, but have
no knowledge of what that destiny is and what their
role will be in fulfilling it. So they are forever looking
for signs and omens to show them their proper way.

Chaotic
The howling maelstrom beyond the veil of shadows
and existence is the source of all magic. It bends and
tears the fabric of the universe; it destroys all that
seeks to be permanent. It allows great miracles as
reality alters at the whim of those that can call the
eldritch forces, and it causes great catastrophe as
beings we call demons (and far, far worse) rip into
our reality and lay waste to all. Everything that is
made will be unmade. Nothing exists, and nothing
can ever exist, not in a way that the cosmos can ever
recognize. Those who are Chaotic in alignment are
touched by magic, and consider the world in terms
of ebbing and flowing energy, of eternal tides washing
away the sand castles that great kings and mighty
gods build for themselves. Many mortals who are so
aligned desperately wish they were not.
