If Tales Of The Valiant lacks alignment, then does its cosmology also lack the Outer Planes?I'm not saying that some of the changes aren't also motivated by story reasons. But none of these things are happening in a vacuum.
It's not like this sort of thing is even unique to 5.24. A5E already just made most creatures not have an alignment trait, so that it only applies to certain extraplanars and high level clerics. And Tales of the Valiant doesn't have alignment. It's just different ways of heading off the biological morality issue that has always been kind of an uncomfortable background detail of the game for years.
