Well, you could claim it was good - even genuinely believe it. You would just be horribly, horribly wrong.The whole "caring about life" applies to all life. No can't just pick and choose what life to respect and still call yourself "Good."
Pretty simplistic world view that avoids arguments about the "greater good". QG is acting for the greater good - if she doesn't act then all life will be wiped out. In your definition, doing nothing and letting all life go extinct would be classed as good.I have to agree with Val.
Genocide, no matter the reason, isn't a justifiable thing for a Good aligned character. The whole "caring about life" applies to all life. No can't just pick and choose what life to respect and still call yourself "Good."

I thought the tech lock was created by the immortal kings and enforced by grief. From the lore:I have to disagree with you...
Letting all life go extinct? Since when are we fighting another, greater evil then Sarah Grief? I highly doubt there's someone or something with the capabilities of annihilating all life out there. If you mean it in a more ''psychological'' way in which humanity would destroy the world, this seems extremely unprobable, given the obvious fact that since we are in front of a ''Technological wall'' which prevents us from researching deeper into energies and using potentially ''harmful'' methods and substances (no need to tell you what i'm referring to...) and also keeps us in a medieval state where we practically don't alter anything.
Now, if you're talking about magic, well, i don't see a lot of extremely dangerous, world-annihilating magical experiments going on... I doubt a couple of fireballs or a flying town made of full donuts (hai nael :3) will change anything.
andEventually without the corruption her people entered a golden age of technology. they harnessed the power of stars and the ability to create life from nothing. eventually and inevitably they turned the power of stars upon each other and killed one another with "genetically superior soldiers"
They destroyed themselves with their knowledge.
The kings heard and headed her words of wisdom and vowed that this would not happen to what they created.
They vowed that they would keep their planet in a constant state of fluctuation between what Sarah (or "Grief" as she referred to her self now, for that was all she had left when they found her) referred to as the dark ages and the renaissance to keep their technology levels down but to still allow for personal growth, expression and development.
They would do this by allowing the people to develop to a stage just before industry began to take off and then hit them with plagues and famine, allow them to misunderstand the world and not question it too much. Questions lead to answers, answers lead to technological development which leads to death.
She knew the other kings would falter when it came time to release plagues that killed millions. She knew this was the only way to keep the planet safe yet dangerous enough to keep them from killing themselves.
So after the world had been around for a bit grief started the eternal war between chaos of the nether and man.
The immortal kings are chaotic evil by that definition since they came up with the idea. Grief is just holding them to their word.As far as a simple "good v evil, law v chaos" table goes, Grief is obviously Chaotic Evil. Whether she has noble intentions or not, she wields the powers of the "chaos of the nether" to commit genocide. There really isn't a debate here..
The last time King Cherbert graced Altera with his presence, he blew up Daggerfall~I wouldn't argue against that statement. The chaotic side maybe, but any group of people that decide genocide, "plagues, and famines" are all acceptable means of controlling a population are most certainly evil.
If this statement contradicts other lore concerning the immortal kings, which I'm almost certain it does, I point back to my statement of the logic behind this bit of lore being terrible and my wish to see it retcon'ed.
Cherbert told me he was cursed by reading "cursed book" something... he must be TROLL!The last time King Cherbert graced Altera with his presence, he blew up Daggerfall~
