You know, you laugh but this is literally dragonlance. Evil, good and neutral are all forces in that setting, and different races align themselves with literal goodness, evilness or neutrality. It's so infantile it's ludicrous, but still, it did give us some entertaining characters like Raistlin.

When it comes to magic, there are also three sides and their respective wizards wear robe colors that reflect that alignment as well.

Raistlin was straight up the best character in that series and he was done dirty.

Dragonlance got its alignments from Greyhawk, and I wish I could say that Gary Gygax was doing a bit when he came up with this stuff - like yeah it's infantile but it's what people in the D&Dverse are taught by their ruling class so it's taken as true in-universe - but he unfortunately lived long enough to immortalize a lot of his terrible ideas on the early internet and no this really is what he came up with.
