Balanced Skeptic

Arbitrators believe that the concept of good and evil only has meaning within the boundaries of culture. Without cultural difference, they argue, ideological sameness will lead to stagnation and tyranny. A fundamental ethical law they uphold is the law of noninterference with the practices of other cultures. Arbitrators believe that ethnocentrism is evil, because when one culture dominates another, precious knowledge, customs, and life is bound to be lost in the ensuing struggle. A reclusive, hermetic order of powerful druids who keep vigil over an unstable region may refrain from interfering in the affairs of nations until one nation threatens to upset the balance, crusading against its enemies because of perceived ideological dominance.
