In a world of serfdom what are the roles of the good aligmeents. The middle ages alingments
Lawful good (most lawful neutrals):
Believe in a noble oblige. They feel that is the duty and responsibility of the higher classes to take care of society, meaning specifically the lesser classes. Everyone has a a job to do, and lawful good peasant does his willing so the higher classes can give back a better life for all. Meaning: A lawful good noble will constantly be looking out for the welfare of his people, and will use surplus taxation to improve his peoples lot, or reduce taxation. He will also be willing to sell excess personal wealth for the befit of the common man. However, wealth that serves a common good: castles, arms for defense et al/ should not be canabliased.
Chaotic Good/Neutral: They find the system of nobility and serfdom to be oppressive. They wish to change to make it better. Nobles have an obligation to take direct action to help the poor, and social rules stopping this is against the "laws" of the gods. Chaotic goods have no problem selling swords for plow shares to feed the poor. Chaotic goods keep their own wealth fairly simple, thought those approaching chaotic neutral will enjoy the luxuries they earned. They like when serfs are promoted by merit, and bad nobles demoted. They constantly look to remove oppressive nobles and promote he lower classes for merit. Serfdom, if anyone can leave it for service, is fine, otherwise it is an oppresisve institution. You favour free farmers. They favour trade and the rise of towns, which allow a host of new freedoms. They like this new thing called "money.:"
Neutral good (some neutrals): Serfdom is necessary to protect the poor and guarantee their protection, thougth you support a well armed peasantry. Restrictions on weapons are understandable but you are against it except in areas of peace. And in that case, serfdom should be ended and the land given to as rent. The peasants free to go and come as they please. The noble class has an obligation to help the poor, both by building social institions and direct action.
Lawful Neutrals: believe in the same things as Lawful good, but believe that the system produces the good in itself. If a noble does his job, and a peasant does his society prospers. Excess taxation should not used for the common good, and not sent back to individuals. Noble are not only serving the common good, they are the common good. A happy and rich noble is good for society. However happy peasants are important. Starvation is not acceptable - but a peasant should not eat noble food, and a noble should not eat peasant food except in emergencies.
Lawful evil: The upper level of society is the whole purpose of society. Religious and noble culture is the reason society should exist. If a 1,000 peasetns have to die to build grand architecture they died for a worthy cause, the pursuit of civilization.
Chaotic Evil: A chaotic evil born into noble class was born lucky. The reason for the lower classes is to provide luxuries for the nobles, mainly themselves. However, skill and merit decide where you are; if you see a pretty peasant girl you may marry her, why not? You fear other nobles since they have the same power as you - and only by ending their power will you be safe They see how unstable the whole society is and seek to take advantage of others who believe in a fair and just system, or do not even realize their is a system at all.
