Re: the Masquerade, I think we're not exposed quite so much to the evil of the feudal system it's competing with. There's plenty of evidence that the population of pre-Masquerade Aurdwynn is basically on the edge of starvation at all times, and there's a sharp noble/serf distinction. Imagine if you're a straight serf without much interest in the old religion in that context, and compare your life under the Masquerade to what the dukes offer. I think there's a pretty good argument to be made that for a lot of people life is better off under the rule of Falcrest. I actually didn't see them as too overtly evil - I thought they were a pretty good interpretation of what would happen if the Conquistadors had been run by people with a better understanding of social science than actually happened.
