I was thinking today, as I am known to do from time to time, about the layout of the planes, belief, and all of that stuff.
Is the bond of good stronger than that of the bond of order?
Would Lawful Celestials ally with Lawful Fiends if order was at stake?
Both sides would be equally aware of the treacheries/qualities of the other side of course.
I know the "traditional" view is that Good wouldn't ally with Evil, but has anyone ever played with the notion of the celestials and fiends allying in any of their games. I know that some random celestials here and there support this or that side of the blood war just to cause more fiends to die or whatever reason they may have (there are plenty of reasons presented, a few examples are in Uncaged: Faces of Sigil), but I'm thinking of a situation more outside of the Blood War (even though it is always going on).
I'm just curious.
Yes, I think they certainly might get together, in certain situations, if the threat were serious enough. I can't imagine that they would like it very much though, and I think that the alliance would fall apart as soon as the threat were ended.
