Alignment in Antediluvia will be the standard Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic of BECMI. Why? It makes sense for this world. Before the world was destroyed in a flood, humanity as a whole was wicked. Good and evil don't matter as much in this particular world (yet), but law and chaos do. The cosmos is consistently in flux between order and disorder in this world, with the forces of law trying to civilize a wild planet, and the forces of chaos pushing back and desiring no change to the status quo. They aren't philosophies of life, per se, and there's no alignment languages since they're not binding philosophies and most of the time characters aren't acknowledging the world in this way, but the alignments do dictate what side of the fence a given character stands on and what ideas they'll defend. Most of the known world is ruled by chaos in this age, of course. These are not magical forces, but forces of the divine working behind the scenes, on other planes of existence, for control over its development and course.
