Dark Fantasy

Evil is persistent. It can be halted, checked or imprisoned but it is not defeated with finality for all time. The triumph over evil is a relative thing, ultimately transitory. The very nature of the evils loose on Ambar makes such triumphs fleeting at best. Although you can foil the plans of the vampiric Kurgans, you can't end their threat for all time. When the dreaded necromancer Tavik was slain, his body dissolved into a cloud of flies and maggots, leaving his death uncertain at best.

Evil forces, of course, will always attempt to conquer Ambar. And just as certainly they will be opposed by forces who will seek to banish evil from the world. Neither will succeed, and in the long history of Ambar neither has ever succeeded. Beginning with the war between the gods, good and evil, law and chaos are well enough matched that outcomes are never certain or long lived. Ambar endures evil and circumvents it, but does not defeat it.
