I have to agree with Tessa on this one. In my short experience with Asador, its citizens have a very strict sort of lawfulness. Obedience to Sathonys and obedience to the rulers of the city is absolutely paramount, or you'll get skewered by the guards or a far worse fate. Sathonys is closer to "Lawful Evil" and Lilith to "Chaotic Evil" if you take the old D&D alignments.
Ghouls are probably permitted by the citizens simply out of fear, which seems to me to be a more important facet of reputation in Asador. In my interpretation, almost all Asadrim are tethered to Asador by a strong sense of tradition or the inability to migrate to the south - it's the rare one of them who is actually a death cultist, and the clergy is there for those ones to join it.
I think it would be cool if the reputation messages in certain areas, such as Asador, had custom-tailored outputs to better represent the populace and their ideas of what makes someone have a good reputation. The most feared and respected of Asadrim won't be "a good god incarnate". If this is already the case, awesome.
