Personally I am a fan of the alignment drain feature but here are a few suggestions I have that I think would make it a bit better.

1. Alignment drain for mortal enemies shouldn't start until alignment with one of the factions exceeds 10. This would basically say that you aren't renowned enough by either faction for them to know about your interactons with their mortal enemies.

2. Alignment between enemy factions should also have alignment drain, though not as severe. When one of the factions alignment exceeds 250 and the other exceeds 100 the alignment of both factions will drain until one of those two conditions is no longer met. This would basically represent the faction not being all that happy to have someone of high renown befriending their enemies, they may not be mortal enemies but they're still enemies.

3. When you are pledged to a faction you won't suffer alignment drain on that faction. So when you have over 250 alignment with your pledged faction you can't keep more than 100 alignment with any of their enemies but won't lose any from your pledged faction while enemy alignment drains, and obviously, you can't have positive alignment with the mortal enemies of your pledged faction.

So overall the system would be a tad more intricate, but I believe it would improve the feature overall.
