This reflects the difference from what she "must" be, to be the Weave, Ao watching: truly neutral...and what she is by her mortal nature, and her behaviour towards mortals, what they see of her: neutral good. Alighment is a less-than-perfect game tool. #realmslore

Hey @TheEdVerse, that’s something I was wondering. I’ve watched your videos and you say that Mystra is neutral, all 3e-5e sourcebooks put her alignment as Neutral Good. I was just hoping you could clear this up for me?

Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense now. Thank you so much for answering that for me.

So basically it's her responsibility to be neutral but she leans towards good because she wants to help her people?

I noticed a si.ilar issue in Mask; previously Neutral Evil, not Chaotic Neutral, but his shrines always seemed to give off a chaotic sura, even before.

With how Mystryl and the first Mystra had different alignments, that can be interesting commentary on magic At first it was chaotic neutral, free to do anything Then it was lawful good, restrained for the sake of the world Now it is neutral good
