Alignments

## Alignments; a summary

Within the Artix Entertainment universe Alignments of a character are made up based on the Moral Compass as showed in AdventureQuest.

As seen in the picture on the left, this moral compass it consist of a horizontal axis from Chaos to Unity. And an vertical axis from Good to Evil.

So a character their alignment has any place on this compass. Which makes it a bit complex. Also Neutral isn't named. But that actually is the middle of this compass.

To make it a bit easier to understand; think of the (DnD) alignment chart which is so often seen on the internet to simplify the compass. The picture below fits in the moral compass too.

So, this means that a character isn't just simply good or evil alone. It also could be chaotic, or neutral, or lawful. And hence has multiple alignment tags.

This makes alignments of way more complex, but also sheds new lights over existing factions in the game or choices made by certain characters.

Do note that AE names 'Lawful' Unity, while on this wiki it is described as Order. And, that Chaos is a faction but Chaotic is an alignment.

## Rundown of the Alignments
