First off, your example with the sylvan/maran is actually true. From playing a warder to interacting with one, they don't care who is doing the damage, just that it is being done, and that person needs to be properly edjucated. The good vs evil isn't as cut and dry as it appears either. Fine, the fortress pretty much concentrates on the evils, empire and scion. The warders, a mix of good and neutral, although I would say the majority is neutral, concentrates on the evils, and on the warlocks, which are goods. The warlocks, which are good, deal with the two evils, the mixed warders, and the village, which occasionally has good and evil in it but tends a bit more towards neutral in my opinion. I would say people outside of a cabal tend more towards the good fights evil, neutral and evil fight everyone mentality. Whereas those in the cabals have a certain set of beliefs which goes beyond the simple good/evil. The reason you hear all the gripes now is just because now is one of those times were the balance is in more of an extreme shift. Sometime in the future, when the empire is going strong, no one will talk about the bandwagon goodies, the evils will say it is ok they are in power, and the goods will gripe there are too many bandwagon evils. Ebb and flow.
