Good and Evil

Good and Evil were classifications of actions, thoughts, and ideas in the universe.

Classification
As the Creator was the benevolent supreme being and forger of the universe, good and evil were classified with reference to His will. Actions, thoughts, and ideas were considered to be good if they aligned with the will of the Creator and evil if they did not. Because the Creator acted through his envoys the Five Deities, the will of the Deities was often used as the measure of goodness of an action, thought, or idea. However, the Creator allowed the Deities to act against his own will (evil) at times (e.g., Niphesus), and so this was not always a correct measure. This deviation caused the humans, Niphises, and other beings in the universe to act and think according to evil while believing they were acting according to good.
