You have to remember that Alain is not Lawful Good, but Lawful Neutral. Teffer is in a moral quandary because, although he follows the law, he is also good. Alain doesn't have any quandary here—he follows the law, good or not. This is, of course, until he changes his alignment. I know that. But, if that were entirely true then Alain wouldn't have sought the council of the clergyman. The fact that he did would indicate that he is starting to exhibit a conscious and/or moral reasoning outside of the law just being the law. Maia knows that he isn't there yet, but her character would pick up on the subtle changes that Alain is undergoing with his alignment shift. Granted, she is taking a gamble with Alain as well as Teffer. Still, it would be pretty obvious that Alain would want to go with Teffer when the other choices would be abandoning the guard all together or siding with Mrak.

In general, I tend to prefer those sorts of games as well, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure if FGLE is the campaign for that given it was mostly intended to be a round robin where the newbies get to cut their teeth on GMing. I admit that I'm probably about 60% or greater responsible for this with my screwed up run, but I must admit to some concern that we've turned the campaign world into a complete mess. This is another thing that could be an issue. What if, for example, I end up running next and don't want to bother with the racism? (Probably because I already have a game where it seems like I'm "oppressing" a character race/class that you run). In retrospect, I think we should have had a rule where all major status quo changes were approved beforehand (and yeah, I was definitely overtly guilty of the big changes thing) because the campaign has sort of evolved to the point where we really need just a single GM to take over who has a cool idea about where to take the game... Of course, that's presuming we actually come back to this game. Yeah, I think I may have overstepped the desired purpose of the campaign a bit... It is hard to put the brakes on ideas and predispositions that I'm already biased to... I guess in my effort to raise the stakes and make the story more interesting I inappropriately made too large of changes to the political landscape which may limit other GM's from doing what they want to do...
