Role

Chapter 3

Why does an elf have empathy, compassion, perform selfless acts?
Why is a duergar greedy and selfish? These are some of the questions
that could be answered by an anatomical assessment of the brain.
Fortunately Thera is a world where corpses line up in wait for someone
such as myself to study them. So far it is clear that each race has a brain
that is unique to their race. It is difficult to distinguish between correlations
and causation of the specific brain anatomy and their morality.
More interesting has been the study of humans and half-breeds.
With the same race but different behaviours, it should be possible to
determine the inherent contribution to morality. Unfortunately it has
been difficult to find good comparisons of similar age and with sufficient
knowledge of their living traits. However, I will continue to search for new
corpses to study. I may also get to explain if my personality is inherent or
if it was learned in the environment.
