Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos aren't just ideas. So if Wizards is choosing to eschew these concepts, then this game isn't going to feel like a Forgotten Realms title.


Are Law and Chaos metaphysical forces in the FR cosmology? Good and Evil are in the form of positive and negative energy, but I wasn’t aware of an equivalent set of forces for Law and Chaos. I thought there were only 6 forces: positive, negative, and the 4 elements.

Law and Chaos are the forces that organize the planes of existence in the Forgotten Realms cosmology. They are what bind the material planes of Toril together.
