[QUOTE="Old One, post: 77017, member: 83"] [b]"Reds" and "Greens"[/b] MW - Actually, some of the debate did run along those lines... You pretty much have it down. The "Reds" are free-traders. They want to be able to come and go as they please with the lowest taxation level possible. It stands to reason that some among them might be smugglers. The "Greens", OTOH, are pushing a system similar to that of Imperial times, where everything is regulated. The rules, of course, would be made by the "Greens". There is no proof that the "Greens" are allied with the bandits, although rumors swirl;)! Actually, the most "powerful" faction is the Halfling Trading Houses. From what the party can tell thus far, they are keeping out of the current trouble between the "Reds" and the "Greens" and neither side is messing with the "stunties" thus far. It probably boils down to a "Law" vs. "Chaos" approach, as much as it is a "Good Guy" vs. "Bad Guy" discussion. Brother Lew is [i]very[/i] lawful! He and Quintus have butted heads a couple of times about the latter's "fast and loose" approach to the truth:D! ~ Old One [/QUOTE]
