While justice is a definite factor in the Realms, tons of bad things keep happening to good people. Even good people like Elminster tend to do questionable things ( like training Sammaster to be a Chosen, when he and Mystra *knew* that Sammaster couldn't handle it ).
It comes down to the question of how a world would function with living gods, which actively interfere with the affairs of mortals. We are kriffed up enough as it is with people on believing in a god... if there were real-world benefits to serving an evil deity, I think things would be much worse.
BTW, when will the next chapter of Tabula Avatar be out? I fear you will get sidetracked quite significantly with the imminent release of Dragon Age. :P
