I've been working on my GM skills for about the past year. Really got a good idea for a first campaign. I'm incorporating three Pathfinder Adventure Paths into the backstory. Namely: Wrath of the Righteous, Hell's Rebels, and Hell's Vengeance. The way it works is that the WotR and HR APs succeeded, with HV failing. Now, Cheliax is in a state of civil war, with the Glorious Reclamation of Iomedae preparing to launch a full military campaign with allies from various nations.
But when putting an LG church against an LE church in open warfare, things can gut muddied if people focus too much on their Lawful components of their alignment. Obviously, the LG combatants will try to have due process so they can retain some sense of order.
The average Chelish citizen pays lip service to Asmodeus because they don't want to cross House Thrune. But with the Church of Iomedae officially coming in to remove House Thrune from power, I would imagine a noticeable amount of the citizenry would back the Reclamation.
Following that logic, I see the Iomedaens aiming to remove the Thrune Loyalists that head the various government offices across the nation from power. By the blade or by making arrests. Ideally, I would have any captured leaders and officials shipped off to Andoran for incarceration and trial, in a society that they have no influence over.
But in an LE kingdom, with LE courts, the entire rulebook has to be thrown out the window in order to bring about the necessary changes to improve the lives of the citizens. Which begs the question: How do you bring about LG reforms in an LE society?
