The reason is quite simple: they are *Player's Secrets* sourcebooks. A
player shouldn't know what the alignment of NPCs are. That is for the DM
to decide.
Though reading through the character description may indicate one alignment,
you must realize that the NPC's description is written as the *regent* sees
him/her. The DM may decide that it is all an act and that the NPC is
actually
a CE spy for the Gorgon! (for example)
Player's shouldn't take anything in the PSs for granted... ;-)
