One of my NPCs is a lawful good templar. She serves Abalach-re and is one of the very few templers, who cares about the common folk. She tries to be a good example for the common folk, but judges by the law. Being lawfull is the only way IMO to justify, that a templer could possibly good-aligned, that's why I choosed her being lawfull good. Neutral good and chaotic good templers are IMO nearly impossible under the reign of an evil soccerer-king/queen.

We've got a LN Templar in my group with good tendencies. I think she eventually abandon Lalali-Puy and follow Oronis once she finds Kurn. In the Black sands adventure theres an example of a "good" Templar as well. He was probably LN as well since 2nd ed didn't allow good aligned Templars. I don't see why any particular Sorceror King would care to much if a Templar was good aligned. Hamanu seemed to have several Templars who were leaning towards a good alignment.

Thats what pretty much happened in my old DS game. The party traveled with a templar of Nibenay for quite a long time. At first she was a typical snot of a templar but slowly changed her outlook as she saw more and more of Athas. Once the group found New Kurn and Oronis she finally realized that there was another way of life beyond oppression and strife.
