Unity recognizes that the traditional elemental rivalries are weaker than far more palpable threats.
Unity does not oppose clans in competition, nor individuals fighting amongst each other, but it does oppose the rampant unchecked corruption and decay that threatens to devour Paxia at a moments notice. So, no Unity does not seek complete peace on Paxia, far from it.
Unity is aware that complete peace can never be achieved. Rather it seeks to be a force to defend Paxia from the forces that would destroy it.
Presently Unity functions as a direct democracy. There are no elected representatives, decisions are made by the plurality. It is possible that over time Unity may shift its governance to be more similar to the clans with elected councils. So overall, Unity is the is the most important alignment, hence most protagonists are good.
Use in the Devourer Saga[]
Combat-wise, it confers no benefits. It does, however, change how certain NPCs view the Chosen. Story-wise, choosing Unity means that the Chosen is working to unite various disparate factions against the Devourer and his Network.Good is another alignment in the moral compass. Many protagonists are good, hence the use of this alignment is necessary. It can change rapidly depending on the actions taken in-game affects the player's alignment, and will (for instance) give the player a selection of custom rewards in game events.
Evil and Chaos are the negative alignments on the Moral Compass. All villains somehow lie in these two categories as they have an evil, chaotic motive; a notorious example is the Devourer. The Chosen ( the main protagonist) can change their state on the moral compass, depending on their actions; ways in which this can be achieved are stated in the 'Character Alignments' section.
