was korvaak secretly the good guy

I didn't read much of the lore but I skimmed the passages, also haven't made it to the oasis yet so I'm sure there will be more lore there

this is basically a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thread, enjoy

He turned kymons chosen fanatics (who believed him) into monsters and his servants as u can see in forgotten gods.

While his actions are not human friendly, I still consider him partly good... have no comment on The witch 3 cult (dreeg, solael and bysmiel) who tries to take him down in order to replace him because I don't see it as a good ending either.

It always came down to a conclusion to pick lesser of two evils. Part of me also believes Empyrion is indeed Korvaak in disguise but then again they could be brothers which is a good mystery there to left out on...

EDIT: I also remembered that Mogdrogen was not happy about it either, so there's that.

Writings of Rion 6 say that he could possibly usurped his realm from someone already, but it's unclear from who. Ch'thon perhaps?
The Three are up to something, because Mogdrogen wanted to grab Rhowari and run away ASAP once Korvaak gets released and destroys the world of GD, but once Korvaak gets defeated, he's genuinely shocked.
There is also this Yugol entity that Magus Morgoneth tapped on. It's apparently such threat that Magus alone requires certain countermeasures that are known as Callagadra.

He was overthrown somewhat "unfairly" but he was not a good guy by any stretch of imagination. The Three are akin to the people, who aren't nice. Still, they are capable of cooperation, they are pragmatic and reasonable. Their followers demonstrate an ample amount of free will. They do not forcibly recruit in join-or-die style. On the contrary - you have to prove that you are truly willing to join and worthy. For godlike entities of GD universe The Three are pretty chill folks. Korvaak is sadistic, totally unhuman, non-negotiable, actively hostile to almost everyone else, uses be-my-slave-or-die approach. He was a ruthless and unpredictable, extremely dangerous entity even before he was overthrown. Now he is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-crazy unhinged demonic being hell-bent on vengeance.

Something to consider is that the Gods are as above humanity as humanity is above livestock; useful as food, beasts of burden, and occasionally dangerous to the unwary.


So the question isn't whether a God is "good" or "evil" but whether said God is friendly to humanities' goals and continued existence or not, in which case the gods (with a lower case g) that used to be human are usually the better choice.
