    Sounds like the excuse of an invader that does not want to be referred =
    to as ‘evil’ by those that write the history after him :-). Especially =
    with that note about the ‘one true church’ - several races in history =
    were all but wiped out for that ‘good’ reason.
    For a historical (pre about 1700, maybe later) or history based =
    fantasy campaign, I’d have to agree with the idea that the intention is =
    acceptable for ‘good’ alignment, but given the preferred interpretation =
    follows modern (post 1950’s) thinking - the answer is instead ‘this is =
    an evil act’ despite whatever excuse you use to cover it.

    The alignments discussion has evoked some strong emotional issues =
    which are important in themselves, but perhaps should not be applied to =
    a game that we (or at least the gamers that I know well) use as an =
    escape from the real world.
    I would suggest that given the diversion of opinions that the GM of =
    each group sets his / her version to the players and says that’s how it =
    is for this particular campaign. The last campaign that I GM’d was =
    fairly light hearted and used modern concepts and morals. For the =
    campaign I run at the moment, I’ve already told the players that the =
    gameworld will be darker than they are used to from me and it will be =
    using pre-1500 English / mid-European morality.

Smile - this is supposed to be fun…

On the other hand, what of a human who decides to invade and conquer =
Thurazor?
Not to exterminate but to acquire territory and bring the goblins into =
“the
one true church of Haelyn”?
