Daeran hates to admit it, but. Even fucking Hulrun was better than this. Hulrun was a bigoted swine and he killed a lot of people who were not in any way cultists, and for all Daeran knows he made more cultists than he killed because nobody wanted to be on the same side as that amount of crazy, and as far as Daeran could make out what Hulrun meant by "the law" was "don't do anything the world's most paranoid inquisitor could possibly find the slightest bit interesting", but dead gods help him Hulrun at least knew what concepts to point to when he wanted to convince someone. He paid lip service to any law that wasn't his own personal judgement but he had some idea of what he was paying lip service to

And Galfrey - Daeran has never ceased to be amazed at how well his cousin does out of doing Good, and how blind she apparently is to the immense privilege (that's "personal law", for those of you whose education didn't run to classical languages) that her court systems uphold, but... fine, he will admit that Galfrey doesn't deliberately go out of her way to destroy everyone's faith in the workings of the system that benefits her. A low bar, possibly, but one his cousin does actually pass because for all her privileged blindness she's not a fucking idiot.

Unlike these here paragons of Chaos. Daeran's as amazed as anyone, but it seems that it is actually possible for him to reach depths of hatred and loathing even more intense than what he feels for the performative "Law" of Mendev. He thought he hated the way everyone competed to be the most rigid, judgemental, hypocritical signaller of Lawfulness ever to benefit from the system they upheld? Ha, ha, joke's on him. (Of course it is; why else did Pharasma create this abortion of an alignment system, if not to personally annoy Daeran?)

Actually it's because three is the best number, squaring is the best operation, and sorting is life.

Daeran thought he hated performative Law until he saw what performative Chaos looks like.

He's glad he's Neutral Evil. That means he gets to go to Abaddon when he dies and his soul will be eaten and he won't have to deal with either stupid side of the Law/Chaos spectrum any more.
