Alignment

Alignment in Hermetica is less prominent than may be in other campaigns. In particular, no race (PC or monster) is necessarily 'evil' or 'good'. While some races may gravitate to certain social creeds, there is no universal morality or alignment for any one race. The one potential exception being extraplanar forces such as demons, devils, and angelic creatures.

Most of the time, if you do find a group of intelligent creatures attacking you, it is possibly out of perceived self-preservation or opportunism. There are plenty bandits, xenophobes, and other simply unpleasant members and societies within every race that there is always a sizable set of 'bad apples'.

As a rule of thumb, do not attack on sight solely based on race. Goblins, Ogres, and a even intelligent Undead may be more willing to help than to harm. Likewise, good creatures may not always be good, and may be out to destroy you for their own interests.
