On the topic of Keldorn going slightly off the planet and pushing the prudency of his paladinly postulations, you should definitely check out how he reacts to having Viconia in the party. It really struck me as quite extreme at the time, but hilariously so in a neutral, darkly ironic way. But I loved Viconia too much to really keep him for too long after that incident...

There was a thread awhile ago (I'll have to dig it up for the nostalgia) where ironworkers discussed this as potentially showing Keldorn guilty of quasi-racist beliefs. It was a fun thread and I remember trawling through other forums looking for similar incidents and possible reasons to explain his reaction apart from the obvious 'drow r teh evil' explanations.

So when else in the game does Keldorn seemingly pontificate pompously and push his paladinly puritanical premises too far? It's got me curious now.
I aim to please

I don't want to give it away, but there's an... encounter... shortly after the Underdark. And if you choose to react violently, Keldorn will take action to stop you (while Jahiera will just leave).

And I still say he's racist.
