Each DM will run things differently no matter what the books say about alignment. For that matter, I don't think that the simple description as provided in the books can truely describe the one ninth of the population that they cover. There are simply too many variations to say any description works for them all.IMC, I don't think a lawful society would do anything "indisciminant". What they can and couldn't do would be defined by the law and people's rights or lack of would be codified by such. THere might not actually be laws written in the books and only a strong authority structure but a lawful societies authority structure would be working by common rules and traditions which everybody knows. It would be a conservative society that seeks to do things the same way they've been done in the past.A CG society like I was describing would be something along the lines of this: Let's say that a group of Knights of Kord get together and go vanquish a small country ruled by evil priests. They despose the priests and set themselves up in their place as the lords. They all rule under some understandings and agreements such as the worship of Kord and mutual defence but there's no strong central government and each knight is total ruler of their lands. They may allow other religions, but I see no reason that they would need to allow any of those religions to actually gain any ruling power.</blockquote>
