Alignment

Alignment (or Good Or Evil) is the moral system for Factions/Sects. It consists broadly speaking of Good and Evil, under which all NPC Factions fall, as well as 'None' (#Unknown/#Controversial). Sects belonging to opposite sides of Alignment have low Favor with each other, are openly hostile to one another. In the case of the player Sect, they will refuse to Trade.
Note: Not to be confused with Virtue/Condemnation, which are an equivalent moral system for individual characters.

== None ==
The game translates the mechanic to "Good Or Evil" in English, and all NPC Factions fall under these directives. The player has the third option of neutrality (None): 
*Unknown - both Good and Evil being lower than 300
*Controversial - both Good and Evil being 300 or higher
=== Advantages ===
The biggest advantage of 'None' is that Sects of both Alignments have no moral obstacles in Trading and other amicable interaction with the player.
=== Controversial ===
==== Lock ====
Reaching Controversial puts the player Sect in an deadlock, with subsequent actions and cumulative Alignment score changes having no effect on Alignment or gameplay. 
== Alignment Table ==
State of Alignment is calculated based on the scores of Good and Evil Alignment.XiaWorld.SchoolMgr.ScoreUpdate

=== Better Alignment ===
Better Alignment (Mod) by Fasgort, fixes the illogical, though desired by many, in-game function of being "locked in Controversial".
