Useful Morality Subsystems (Alignment Replacements)

[Segev]

So how about something like ‘faction’ or ‘afterlife’ rather than ‘alignment’ then?

"Alignment" being related to morality or ethics is strictly due to it having been chosen by D&D's early creators as the word they used to state with which ethos you were aligned. If they had chosen 'faction,' this exact conversation could have ensued and we'd have somebody likely suggesting "how about something like 'alignment' instead of 'faction,' then?"
