I know this might be a little out of date but I was reading the whole Morgfyre emerging event and I was at the part where Morgfyre shed off Hajamin's form and all the Gods (Viravain, Charune, Terentia and Fain) attacked Morgfyre, thinking He was a Soulless.

Here's the question:

Why did Fain attack in the first place? Didn't he betray the Elders and ally Himself with the Soulless?

Just would like some clarity on that.

He only allied himself with the Soulless because he thought it was in his best interest. Allying himself with one soulless against all the Elders would NOT be in his best interest.

It's best to find out about this sort of thing IC. As with all the Gods, there are a great many different views and opinions, depending on the perspective of the commentator. There is no definitive historical version of the betrayal, IC. For all we know, Fain's 'betrayal' was an evil and petty plot by Meridius, Elfenhoala and Terentia, who wanted their old rival out of the way and fabricated charges against him.

Refuting Genevieve's point: many of the Soulless are far more powerful than the remaining Elder Pantheon (minus Estarra). How was Fain to know he wasn't attacking a being comparable to Almight Kethuru itself, capable of immediately eating him. It certainly wasn't a selfish decision - He attacked it because of his compassionate nature and his wish to preserve the mortal races from total destruction. Clearly.
