You see, Druids being 'Neutral' had to seek balance whenever possible. During the War between Good and Evil they were originally on the side of Good, but when Good started winning the Druids tried to say 'Okay that's enough' but Good wouldn't hear of it, so the Druids switched sides for the sake of Balance. Unfortunately not only did this have the result of the side of Good seeing them as traitors and treating them as enemies but also the side of Evil remembered all to well that they were just recently on the side of Good and didn't trust them and continued treating them as enemies. And so, being cut down on both sides, the Druids were quickly nearly wiped out.

The major conflict, aside from the need to resort Balance, ends up coming from the side of Good trying to pursue a world that is so purely 'Good' that it overrides free-will. Anything irredeemably 'Evil' (like demons or monsters) are killed off just for existing and anything that could be 'saved' (like thieves and assassins) are 'fixed' (whether they want to be or not). Turns out this 'fixing' involves mind-wiping the individual and replacing it with a 'friendly' persona.

I would argue that in such a society "Good" has clearly lost. If all evil had been banished from the world as proposed, why would anyone feel the need to steal or kill?
