I agree,the divine gave us free will and they also gave us the capacity
to summon daemons, animate the dead and other abilities. In explanation,
they created -some- of us with enough intelligence to experiment with
such things.

If you are proposing, and again i agree, that these things are powerful
enough to obliterate aetherius as we know it,then follows that the Gods
value our free will above our lives because if they didn't then they
would not have given us the intelligence to investigate the pit.

I'm guessing that a lot of you goodies are at this very moment thinking
oh-so-predictably that it is in fact you who are intelligent for staying
away from the pit. I would like to point out that fear of the unknown is
what prevents you from investigating and that it is a trait of -low-
intelligence.

So anyhow, back to the point. The Gods don't value life as much as the
capacity to investigte so it's the necromancers and daemonologists who
are acting as the Gods have intended and NOT the clerics and templars.
