But let's apply it much more broadly, concepts they are often attached to. Good and evil. Elysia and the Abyss. Can they achieve an architect's 'balance'? Equilibrium? Everlasting harmony? Let's say for a moment they could, as idealistic as that may be.
Adversity and challenge are what drive change and progress. A permanent balance of good and evil would be stasis, antithetical to Lagoma's teachings. Without progress there is no learning; a spit in the face of Vellichor.
Would the enforcers and guardians of this balance impose their will on the world, removing choice to ensure their balance? This would be antithetical to not just Skald's teachings, but also Gloria and the Sentinel. The death of choice is tyranny, and tyranny - no matter whatever good intentions may drive it - is unjust.
When applied to good and evil, that sort of balance - an equilibrium - is undeniably evil. It is a deliberate act, not a mistake.
Archscholar Py wrote on the subject once, and he wrote poignantly. The balance of good and evil is a swinging pendulum, a constant give and take, an unending push and pull. It is foolish to try and interfere with its movement on any grand scale. There is no safety in the center of the pendulum.
Good and evil are concepts greater than any of us, and I think it is the height of hubris to assume mastery over either. The best any one soul can do is to live their life fully, facing whatever consequences may arise from it.

Relationship Note on Austen
Building the room just feels like bringing a bit of those younger years back, in a way. You are very welcome, Austen, and thank you for letting me do it. Though I did fail to mention Guildmaster Joscelin's pranks...oops.

Relationship Note on Barik
A trickster with her poisons?
Definitely not me, I'm nothing more than a woman who is far too fond of the softest things.

Now she has had a room constructed for me just off her shop. I am more grateful than I can express in words.
Thank you, Ida.
