What are the internal issues of Gridania?

[gornotck]

So much hostility for Gridania... all they want to do is live peacefully in a forest where they, and everyone they know or love, could until recently be killed for little or no obvious reason through the whims and actions of an overwhelmingly powerful force of nature that only communicates that will through people who deliberately and consciously chose to listen.
Duskwights and Keepers of the Moon aren't trusted because they refused to live within the structure the Elementals set out, putting everyone in danger. For centuries. Even to this day, though the Elementals were weakened through the destruction of so much of the Shroud. Several quests address the Keepers and Duskwights as poachers and bandits because many of them still refuse to accept the rules and want to maintain "traditional" lifestyles that run counter to the constrictions placed upon Gridania.
Outsiders feel Gridanians are cold because outsiders represent change, and might not play within the rules of Gridanian society. Adventurers are probably the greatest representation of change, as they don't really follow one path.
The Lancer questline's Duskwight went out of his way to put himself, you, and others in danger. He wasn't a bad person because he was a Duskwight, he was a Duskwight who was a bad person (for, of course, fairly bad reasons.)
The Archer questline was that Elvaan chap's pride and bad experiences with a Keeper bandit. The guildmaster made efforts to get him to move on and accept the Keeper who came out from the cold.
