You can reach for an analogue tying any fictional culture or race to a real one, but whether or not that matters at all is up to you personally, and if you’re willing to go down that route where does it end? If you did swap them to orcs, does that mean that FR orcish culture has no similarities to real societies you can envision, or does their societal analogue simply seem more moral to destroy?It’s usually poor form to respond to a question with a question, but let me ask you this; if you aren’t able to separate fantasy races/cultures from the real ones they resemble or draw from, then which one bothers you the least to see attacked? If the players had to invade a Catholic-themed monastery, would that bother you less or more than the current option?You could certainly do those things, but it might likewise lessen the narrative impact or character development associated with having to raid places that are currently in use. More practically, I think this is a situation where people can be told to just deal with it. It’s harsh, but not every part of every campaign has to be squeaky clean in terms of morality and righteousness. There’s also the option of you as the DM giving ways to get the artifacts by other means perhaps.</blockquote>
