It seems to me that there is a tendency to make Orlanthi society a "perfect, gender-inclusive, land of the brave and home of the free where the paramount importance of individual freedom is tempered by a deep sense of responsibility and everybody is eating free-range cattle and organic wheat and using a sustainable rune magic economy (not to mention Issaries spell fair-trade)".
Before anyone has the temptation to jump to my throat I stress that I am all for these values in the real world.
But does it make sense in a fictional world? How can we play in an interesting way the encounter between Orlanthi and Lunar ways if we polish one to moral perfection?
So my question would be: what are, from your point of view, the "dark and mean streaks of the Orlanthi society" that are worth staging for the sake of a good, balanced, game"?
