The Four Winds: Alignments and Associated Seasons?

HalfElfSorcerer

First Post
I am writing rules for the four seasons as gods, I might try and get Natural 20 to publish it. Anyways, I have made all the seasons either neutral or neutral good, and I think I should add some more interesting alignments, so I thought of also including the North, South, East, and West Winds. Unfortunately, I don't know if there are any "traditional" alignments for the Winds. So, to avoid annoying fantasy freaks, I'll ask the community. BTW, here is how I think it should work:

Spring (neutral good) and the East Wind (Lawful good)
Summer (Neutral) and the South Wind (chaotic good)
Autumn (Neutral Good) and the West Wind (Lawful Evil)
Winter (Neutral) and the North Wind (Chaotic Evil)

So, let me know what you think.

First, good luck in your endeavor.

Spring: Spring is the season of life. I think it should be a good alignment as things are growing and coming out of the long winter. Neutral good seems right.

Summer: Summer's a hard one. In the north it is really a nice time, but in the south is is very nasty. Neutral or Chaotic Neutral could work Summers can be hard to predict.

Autumn: Autumn is also the season of storms, ussually. Especially Hurricanes. I'd go with a Chaotic of some sort.

Winter: Winter I see as Lawful. The weak die and the strong live.

The winds I have no idea. I'd like to here your reasons why you asigned the various alignments.
 

Thanks for your input, Crothian. I made Summer and Winter True Neutral because they are generally harsher than autumn and spring. Since Spring and Autumn are not extreme seasons, they are more likely to break free from the "uncaring" pattern. I decided to make the Winds more "extreme" for flavor. Anyhoo, I'll just keep working on my Seasons project. There may be periodic help requests on this forum. Keep gaming, everyone.
