One society's morals will always be sacrificed for anothers. Thats the way things seem to work both in real life and in the Basin life. Ever noticed?
Serenwilde dispises Magnagoras and Glomdorings morals but they constantly put their own in high regard. Theyve also gone against Celest in the past.
Celest goes against others at times, the 'Light is all' thing that we see in religions today and in the past.
Magnagora seems to often want to dominate the Basin and bend it to its will.
Glomdoring 'Glory be to Glomdoring' slogan 'Fai Glomdoring!' slogan.
No matter where you go, this always happens. When the cities come out, if they do rather, it will be the same. When, or if, the next Commune comes out it will be the same.
Societies have their own morals, views and belief systems. Plain and simple.
It gets complex when you try pushing them onto others.

And I wouldn't be content because there's no place for a peace loving lucidian in the world as it is. Of course, one could just chalk it up to having an interesting world to live in, but as long as there's a chance of freeing the lost cities, that's what he'll be doing.

All those who work to return more cities to the Basin should die.

I don't mind the fact that Hallifax would practice slavery as Estarra mentioned they did have a caste system but this system was for the better of society.
If you read Roark's philosophical book it really sums up the ideal of what Hallifax might be in that light. There was democracy in Hallifax but democracy seems to have been more structure around prominent members of society.
Also what I find really intriguing about Hallifax is how two elder gods so totally opposite fell in love, fragmented, and their offspring you could say were drawn together in this symbiotic somewhat circular relationship. Hallifax was both beautiful and logical in that sense involving both sides of the human psyche in terms of outlooks on life.
A city floating in the clouds built with crystal defies gravity it is this I think that symbolizing their quest for infinite possibilities. Art and Science working together in a matrix working off each other. Art and physics worked together to create beauty in equal accord.
Perfection to a point of timelessness is more something I would like to see.

When you say it like that, it almost makes me want to quit Glomdoring, reincarnate into Trill, and go all Hallifax fanatic. Almost.
Edit: Go Gaudiguch!

Qaletaqa's summary of the beauty of Hallifax.

This is why Hallifax is a thousand times better than that silly fire city.
Im gonna laugh so hard if Gaudiguch doesnt stand for Chaos.. 
And Fire and Flame in itself doesnt have beauty? Watching a fire can be calming, its often used to help spread a calming feeling. Even the destruction Fire can wreck can be benificial.
