Sweetie was a good dog, but now he's the best dog! Sweetie was a comfort dog without a lot of formal training. He helped ease the suffering of dying people in the hospital, and there he learned how friendship could save lives, and how intolerable suffering can be. He wanted to scare away all the people who made other people hurt, but the Code of the Good Dog prevented him from ever taking action. He dreamed of one day being able to chase pain down like a squirrel, only unlike a squirrel, following his instincts to kill it wouldn't make him a bad dog. It would make him a good dog!

Then one day he got his wish. Meon decided to empower Sweetie to Desecrate a world of evil with love! That's what Sweetie assumes, at least. Meon didn't actually say anything, but Sweetie knows he's a Good Guy. Now Sweetie is able to literally hunt Evil with none of the confusing restrictions brought by operating in the human world. He is at home fighting Evil, and has caused a great deal of trouble in the Evil World. Most notably, he has learned to wield the power of Love, created a Good World within the Evil World which subverts its properties, formed a pack of redeemed nimblejacks.

Because of Sweetie's success, Gerhard Staunton was contracted by the Cammora to keep Sweetie occupied with projects outside the chancel. Sweetie doesn't mind because he needs a master in order to effectively act on Earth, and having a master to please allows him to reassure himself that he is a Good Dog. Even on Earth Sweetie finds and protects the targets of the Evil World, but he also pursues lesser, unrelated evils.

Estate: Things of the Evil World

The means of entering and exiting the Evil World are not given. I like the idea that you leave the Evil World through the intent to hunt, and return by offering the bounty of a hunt to the Evil World (does not have to be material or from the original hunt). If you have an intended target you will exit somewhere in the vicinity of the target, but the Evil World will choose a target and a location for you if you have none. When you return, you return to the vicinity or the place you will offer the bounty to, or to the place which will process the bounty. The Good World works on the same principles, but different intent. It is my duty to hunt the evil within Gerhard Staunton, so I easily and frequently appear by his side when leaving the Evil World. With my powers it is trivial for me to get a hunting bounty and return to the Good World, though it is harder if I am in an isolated place.

We are prey to false impressions.	Are driven to present impressions as fact.	Are driven to present positive impressions as fact	must be confronted by their deeds
The truth is darker than you know.	Are driven to reveal the hidden darkness in things.	Are driven to make you choose between Good and Despair by confronting you with the malice hidden within you.	Are driven to choose goodness and rejoice
Joktan laughs at you.	Cannot escape Scornful laughter.	Cannot rest because of Scornful taunts.	Are driven to renounce their old self and undergo radical transformation
Nothing lasts forever.	Are driven to ensure that nothing lasts forever.	Are driven to bring an end to Evil	Cannot abide themselves until they change
The worst is yet to come	Are driven to become more dangerous than what you have already faced	Are more dangerous than the evil you have already faced	Cannot escape judgement
