Balance

Anyone with two eyes can see the Forces of Good and Light and
Reightousness and Justice and Valor are outnumbered 10 to 1 on the
battlefield of Life.

Since you already admitted you are senile I won't go too much into
detail on this. Other than to point out that you are also nuts. There
are two ways to look at the ratio you have supplied. I'm going to hope
you meant the first way as it is the slightly less silly of the two.
This of course would be "Good" being outnumbered by other Gods 10 to 1.
Lets take a quick peek at those that we would find under Help Gods.

Sarapis? Neither Good nor Evil. He is simply the Logos.
Daedalus? God of Balance. I would hope He too would be neither.
Aeyr? God of Magic. Again, not really Good or Evil.
Eris? Goddess of Chaos. I can see the argument for Evil tendencies. But
Her nature defies being classified as either Good or Evil as Chaos is
exactly that. Chaos.
Gaia? Goddess of Nature. Now while many are hard at work trying
desperately to paint Her in an evil light to further weaken Her stance
amongst Her followers, the simple fact is she is at the worst neutral
and even then with good tendencies.
Oneiros? God of Peace. Simply going to point out you won't find too many
pacifist evil people running about. Not that they don't exist. So we'll
put this one in the Good category.
Twilight? God of Darkness. Yes I know. You all want so very much to put
Him in the evil category. For the sake of not getting into a long,
tiring debate on this I'll say neutral with evil tendencies to keep
people happy.
Vastar? The Sky Lord. Probably about as neutral as Daedalus to be
honest. And just as reclusive.
Phaestus? The Smith. I'm thinking He's someone who's not going in that
evil category either.
Sartan? Yeah okay. Solid Evil entry God here.
Lupus? The wild God of the Beasts. Solid neutral regardless of early
Church doctrine on the matter.
Ourania? Goddess of the Moon. Another solid neutral entry. If anything a
slight tendency towards good could be argued. But not evil.
Tarah? Goddess of Compassion. Another Good entry though reclusive at
best.
Lorielan? Goddess of Knowledge. I'll go with neutral with good
tendencies.
Aegis? God of War. Oh I know. Gods how you would love to label Him evil.
But He's not. Solid neutral. Just highly motivated to see bloodshed.
Whether its for a good cause or not. And as such you really can't label
Him evil. But for the sake of argument we will just for arguments sake.
Caspian? God of the Sea. Like the city He patrons, neutral with good
tendencies.
Pentharian? God of Righteousness and Light. Solid Good.
Valnurana? Goddess of Sleep and Dreams. Solid neutral. And also the most
stunningly attractive goddess of them all too. Though I am probably
horribly biased on the subject. But I doubt it.
Agatheis? The Elemental Lord. Again, Solid Neutral.

Going on the basis of good tendency Gods versus evil tendency Gods, Good
actually holds a 5 to 4 margin. If you want to throw out reclusive Gods
then even then its not that much of a difference. Evil holds a slight
margin of 4 to 3. So one would hope you are not getting your ratio from
these numbers.

The only other way you could get that number would be sheer population
against population. Which, again, you would be wrong again. All of
Sapience would have to band together to get to that high a number. Yes
in a pure evil vs good scenario good is heavily outnumbered. True. But,
what could a God do that would aid you in this? Good is spread through
its followers. Evil is as well of course. At the end of the day it is up
to YOU to do what you can for your cause. Be that good, evil, or
indifferent. This garbage of laying responsibility on others grow
tiresome. Especially when you start to lay such responsibilities on
Gods. Gods can show you the door to the path you need to take. They
can't force you to go through it. They can motivate you for certain.
Sartan for one is probably the best motivator out there. But that is His
nature. But even He cannot force His followers to do everything. Even in
the Sartanites you have those that stray from the herd. We were granted
the power of Freewill by the divine providence. Some of us should
possibly consider exercising it and stop waiting for others to fix all
their own problems.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Ero, in the year 294 AF.
