[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9482654, member: 2209"] Generally things are a light sketch so it can be a wide range of interpretations and I feel that places can have bad aspects while overall judging them on the good side of the line for bigger good aspects. The biggest negative in the theocracy's description is "The Pale is not noted for its religious tolerance." You can go into full on villainous inquisitions as a characterization and good in name only, but the text does not. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1729020606827.png"]382712[/ATTACH] Generally (though not explicitly in the 1e boxed set) associated with the worship of LG(N) Pholtus of the Blinding Light [ATTACH type="full" alt="1729020781355.png"]382713[/ATTACH] Pholtus is on the neutral end of the LG pool with his one true wayism but he is still there and I think there is room for such in the D&D alignment system. Greyhawk also has a map of alignment breakdowns for the Flanaess though it is not easy in the book to match things up exactly as they are not labelled by country name and it is a huge sprawling map to pull out physically.
