"Be disciplined, if you may. But let the present moment decide when discipline evaporates and gets replaced by freedom."
According to Mikon, everyone has the right to choose their own path in life. Good is of course always preferable to evil in terms of living harmoniously. We all want to live in a safe and enjoyable world. However, Mikon is a warrior and he's used to fighting. Sometimes it is necessary to further an evil end in order to achieve stability and harmony in the long run. The good and the evil will often not see this. They merely look at what is happening at that moment. It is Mikon's job, and the job of his followers to find out how to turn a situation so it comes out for the best down the road.
Many different types of people and philosophies exist. Mikon is tolerant of them all. He understands that in order to have the light, you will need the darkness to compare it to. Order will not exist without chaos either. Most do not understand these points and only wish to have their own beliefs dominate. This is one thing Mikon will not allow. The dance is everything. There is no goal or destination. The journey is why we are here, and without those opposing sides going against each other the journey will cease.
After the nine warriors were changed to gods by the eternal spark, and the N'Gerai was defeated, the new gods all went back to their respective planes of appropriate philosophy.... except for Mikon. He remained behind on the Prime Material Plane. The Supreme charged him with the task of keeping all Gods out of the Prime Material Plane, so that the balance is not destroyed. This is his job to this day.
Mikon has major temples in Mikona and Visimontium, chapels in Blandenburg and Bachwood, and a shrine to the Equalizers of Mikon in Eastshore.
