This may seem a very odd and stupid question at first, but... I was wondering why "monsters" in the FR are labeled as evil. I am sure there are good reasons, and in many cases it is obvious, but a lot of the time it seems to me like the monsters are simply defending themselves from the adventurers who want to do "good" in the world. What I am really interested in is any information about the various monsters in the FR (even the most basic ones like gnolls, orcs, xvarts etc.). Why do people constantly fight these creatures? Are both parties equally at fualt? Why can entire species be labeled as evil? If you have any good answers I would very much like to hear them
