Editing The Aesthetic Axiom and the Divine Compass (section)

=== The Profane Moral Compass (Sufficient Morality) ===
Much later in time, when mortals were imbued with souls, they were given a small fraction of the DMC via their sliver of divinity. This is known as the Profane Moral Compass (PMC), or Sufficient Morality. It functions similarly to the DMC but is by definition malleable and subject to change. A mortal may be Altruistic one day, and Selfish the next, depending on circumstances. Hence it is also known as the “actionable” morality, and is described as a grid axis.

* '''Anarchic.''' The act of opposing law and order.
* '''Lawful.''' The act of following law and order.
* '''Altruistic.''' The act of doing good for others above yourself.
* '''Selfish.''' The act of doing good for yourself above others.

In general: due to their nature and their connection with free will, mortals are incapable of entering static states of morality. This is in direct contrast to the gods, which are essentially the celestial embodiment of their particular morality and alignment. Morality for mortals changes depending on a variety of circumstances. Gods prefer mortals who follow actions that fit within their moral compass.

Like the DMC, the PMC also inherently does not ascribe value to the four compass points of the axis.

The PMC also believes in a concept of balance, in which the soul desires a balance within the center of the four points. This balance is also known as the Pull.
