That may seem to paint one side as 'good' vs 'evil'
But consider:
With wealth you can buy knowledge.
With knowledge you can earn wealth.
Seems fairly balanced to me.
Cocobuki: Two scales, one of gold and one of silver. The gold of Ul'dah, weighing prosperity and power. The silver of Sil'dih, weighing knowledge and power. But the power sought by the two nations differed greatly─yes, greatly indeed. The power wrought by Ul'dahn prosperity was that of justice and good, while the power wrought by Sil'dihn knowledge was horrific beyond belief─the power to rip the living soul out of a man and render him a mindless killing machine.
Though we know by the end of the storyline this isn't true, this is the line that K'ailia was referring to in her post.
