I am reading 3 Hearts & 3 Lions for the first time, although I haven't really gotten far enough in the book to determine exactly what the Law-Neutral-Chaos alignment balance truly is. When I get to it I can post it here, unless someone gets to it before I do. (After all, I am a slow book reader...)
Stephen Marsh (writing just after, but referring to a source spot on the timeframe in question; The Quest For Tanelorn being 1975 out of the UK, anyhow, as noted by Allan/grodog) cites Moorcock without reference back to Sir Bela of Eastmarch.

aside: I don't know when Stephen got his typewriter (Gary offered to give him one free after reading 115 pages of Elaikases manuscript Razz), but it must post-date (?late 1976) your full manuscript, unless it was done on a different typewriter...
(Would appear to be Stephen's work anyhow, given the consistent typos).
Just the lower third of a page torn off;
"Having finished the Hawkmoon/Corum/Erikose/Elric cycle in the old editions, I'm considering reading the new ones (especially the new Elric stories) [ed: tallies 1976/7?]. A quote from the last of the last books:
... It has sometimes worked for good."
"Chaos is not wholly evil, surely?" said the child. "And neither is Law wholly good. They are primitive divisions, at best-- they represent only temperamental differences in individual men and women. There are other elements..."
...
"All are primitive," said the child.
And thus we have the last, definitive word on alignments from Michael Moorcock who is responsible for the original set up (tho' not what TSR did with it). I thought you might like the quote"

ymmv & free rein to "interpret as you will", no?
