Look some people consider forming continents over however many billions of years the height of worldbuilding but i do not and am content to make interesting shapes with as much people as possible given access to the sea.
But
at the time, we were under the impression that you wanted to build the world collaboratively...and several people offered to make the continents for the project.
Good as in can be trusted to not abuse power generally through in general evil members of good races exist. Evil races are generally enemy races.
You've got gods of magic and war and nature - if they so much as exercise their power, it can cause disasters (remember Poseidon giving Athens a spring - salt water is very unhealthy for humans)...gods in RL myths tend to turn the course of wars - thats not an abuse of power?
If, in-game, its not, or its not considered an abuse of power, you need to say that.

The listed playable races are generally good i do not consider generally evil races as good ideas for players
To a degree clerics are influenced by their gods as are people through some people have many gods they worship. Also gods possibly only concern themselves with one part of the world such as this Eastern Continent. Gods can also force others to do their will but mainly through a cleric
I have no idea what any of this means. (I suspect because, like I said, I know almost nothing of DND.)
IF I understand correctly, basically, to tolkienize the statement:
The listed playable races are generally good i do not consider generally evil races as good ideas for players
=
the list of races are the ones who can send members to join the Fellowship or to join the war against Sauron -- Foxcatdog doesn't want players to spend time in the game pretending to be Shelob or an orc, because they are bad.
Also gods possibly only concern themselves with one part of the world such as this Eastern Continent.
=
Melkor and Sauron don't care about whats happening on other continents - they only want to spread their evil and corruption through the known lands of Middle Earth.
Gods can also force others to do their will but mainly through a cleric

Yes, Sauron can make people obey him, but normally sends Sauruman and Wormtongue to corrupt and order people into doing things for him.
any misunderstandings are mine and mine alone.
