Editing The Aesthetic Axiom and the Divine Compass (section)

== The Pull ==
Creatures imbued with a soul may begin to pursue paths toward a divine morality. For example, a person may decide to become Good, and thus pursue Altruism to its fullest extent. They save others, fight crime, and pay tithes to their church. Over time, this behavior takes them farther along the line of Altruism. 

However, the farther away from the center a person travels morally, there is a supernatural “pull” from the opposing axis. In the above example, the farther along someone travels in the realm of Altruism, the more they will be pulled by the allure of Selfishness, which attempts to bring them back toward a natural balance. This is the Pull. The pull comes from any direction along the PMC axis. The farther a person travels toward one compass direction, the more the Pull attempts to bring them back to the center.

Gods tend to watch mortals who pursue these paths, deeming them worthy of ascension to godhood if they are capable of maintaining their path despite the intense pull toward balance. These mortals can become champions of deities and some even become demigods and are granted a new life in one of the Outer Planes.
