Because I view alignment as a matter of perspective. What one person believes is good another could consider evil, where another sees Chaos someone else might call it Lawful. It’s all a matter of perspective.I explain it this way to my experience players, just because a person is a Drow doesn’t mean they don’t abide by the law. The laws of their society are different and may appear to be chaotic, but to a Drow they make sense and are Lawful. Just because you don’t agree with their policies or society doesn’t make them inherently unlawful. They simply have different laws with they follow. Those laws may seem harsh, and evil to you, but to the Drow is make their society stronger and are for the Good of Drow society. In other words, a Drow Priest may be Lawful Good in his own society, but viewed from the lenses of another society he may be Chaotic Evil. Also, a Lawful Good Paladin in a human society may be considered Chaotic Evil by Drow terms.  While there is no way I would expect Paladin to attempt follow Drow laws, I think my players should understand that alignment is in the eye of the beholder.</blockquote>
