I like the idea, just wanna point out then that another quest showed probably be introduced along with it that supports good karma seekers

So having an option to simply hand over the cubs and not actually kill them yourself? I don't recall the demiurge's cub quest effecting karma, so it should be possible :)

Exactly! Just so that it doesn't favor one karma side over the other.

An alternative for good karma, like That1idiot said seems fair; send X amount of lions to the nature reserve as opposed to killing, or a separate NPC would take the cubs depending on the player's karma or personality.

This does sound like a great way to purge excess lions as long as it is balanced and the quest in question reflects the king itself, possibly with differing rewards much like the albino quest.

Perhaps whether the cubs are killed/sent to the reserve could be optional? For neutral players/those who tend to rid of lions via the option opposite to their karma or personality.
