Hm, I wouldn't agree totally with you, Dsurian. Jaheira might accept helping the protagonist on their journey, which includes doing many good deeds... But the Sword Coast and Amn are in trouble and filled with people and other creatures that threaten the balance. She doesn't approve much when the protagonist's Reputation increases, at least not like Imoen and Minsc for example. The game does give little opportunity to help lesser good causes and some even bad, but not always with the right kind of consequence. While Jaheira is assisting the protagonist throughout the game, it would be in her nature to withdraw to live her own life (in peace) after the long road to the Throne of Bhaal. Since the greater threat is over. There must be room for all sorts of creatures as long as it balances evenly out.

The Shadow Druids should NOT be labeled Chaotic Neutral, I'm sorry to say, but it doesn't sound like you've read the description. Chaotic Neutrals are generally known to be neither good nor bad, but one interesting thing about them is they just do whatever they feel like whenever they feel like it. They can change their course in life in a second and because of that, they are not considered trustworthy.

I don't know if it would be right to determine Shadow Druids as Evil, because in general they just want to let the forest and its inhabitants live NATURALLY. Untouched by anyone. They themselves would try and live as closely to animals (maybe not even hunting for food - maybe they're vegans! It doesn't say anywhere, if they would hunt for food themselves), but in my opinion, they went a bit too far. Because a wild bear might not necessarily attack humanoids on sight. So somewhere, the Shadow Druids got it all wrong - I suppose. But this is just all my opinion on this case.
