The Temperances are the faction of the Holy Archons who believe that Creation should only contain things which are strictly verified to be not only Good, but incapable of being put toward Evil use. As part of the Great Debate in the Invisible Congress which spawned the World-in-the-Mirror, they have been given authority over Creation. Both in the sense of manifesting the Was Not into the Now Is and in the sense that they have a universally recognized right to administer the World-in-the-Mirror. One which they Created approximately six minutes into the start of the Grand Test Case, right after creating plenipotentiary physical avatars for themselves and temples to the assorted campaign planks of the Celestial Temperance movement.
None of the relics here have an alignment requirement to use. Instead, they have a specific (typically transgressive) act which they reward with wealth and/or power. They're not bound to honor these bargains, but their track record is pretty solid. If you DO find a way to use them in ways that the Archons of Temperance would obviously disapprove of, they'll just conjure up fires and floods of scorpions or infect you with leprosy until you give up. Then restate its demands more loudly.
