A character who has a personal code they follow may view themselves as lawful, but until it starts affecting other people, what they view themselves as doesn’t really matter. Under my model of alignment, most rational actors tend to think of themselves as lawful good, but most people’s actual actions tend towards neutral on both axies. You’re not truly good unless you actively make personal sacrifices for the benefit of others, and you’re not truly lawful unless you take political action in support of civic order. What society does alignment care about? All societies. A lawful character should work towards making the world at large a more orderly place.</p></blockquote><p></p>
