Ah, you mean in some places the irreconcilable differences are
reconciled? Well, yes, of course, only, ..er.., terrible Lunar plots like
peace, prosperity, and civilisation could make good Orlanthi go back on
their kinslaying ways like that.
In other words - I still think what you are talking about is
largely rubbish. If, by 'irreconcilable differences', you mean 'the
Orlanthi and Lunar religions are not the same, and are really quite
different, actually' well, yes,but its hardly news, is it? But I rather
thougth by 'irreconcilable differences' you were meaning something like
'conflict is inevitable', rather than living together happily is a likely
result, but you'll still be able to tell them apart, you know.
Semantic waffling I say. What you mean is, in your game they are
going to fight. Fair enough, can't complain. Just don't try and justify it
with vague illdefined terminology - it needs no justification, least of all
one I can't understand.
Cheers
David
