What's wrong with that, from a roleplaying point of view? Too much realism can be a bad thing. Robin Hood *may* have, in real life, been a murderous, uneducated thug, but would you roleplay him that way? No, he'd be a hero, and the Sherriff of Nottingham would be the murderous psycho, because that's the way the legend is told. Many Glorantha games are run where the PCs are full or part time Orlanthi rebels, I se no reason why the game shouldn't be run in legendary style, with heroic, good-guy resistance fighters just like in the movies. You could even throw in a bit of 'Allo 'Allo for MGF.

Dichotomy?

I just looked up dichotomy in WWWebsters, here are two of the definitions:

2 : the phase of the moon or an inferior planet in which half its disk appears illuminated
4 : something with seemingly contradictory qualities
