* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: There are two factions: one righteous and pious, one rebellious and iconoclastic. At first glance, these appear to be "good" and "evil" respectively (of course, further inspection, or indeed any inspection at all, reveals it to be a case of [[Grey and Gray Morality]]). The "good" side is comprised of races that are light-skinned by default, the "evil" of naturally dark-skinned races. Make of that what you will.
** The fact that one of these races are desert nomads, the others are dark-skinned elves from a jungle-filled series of islands doesn't help the matter any.
** Conversely, the paler-skinned side would be all too easy to [[GodwinsGodwin's Law|Godwin]].
** The problem is, the "good" side are the religious fanatics, whereas the "evil" side, at first glance, appear to be fairly reasonable scientists who know ''for a fact'' that the current path everyone's on ends very, very badly. So it's hard to say if this is inverted, averted, or what.
*** Averted. You've got one faction of [[Knight Templar|fanatics]], one faction of potential [[Mad Scientist|Mad Scientists]]. The ''[[Grey and Gray Morality|only]]'' [[A Lighter Shade of Gray|darker or lighter shades]] here are the skin tones of the Ethians and Mathosians.
