Sigh, welcome to Everquest.

Unfortunately you'll see this as a fairly common occurance as how the items are laid out.

Want to get a few good Druid items? You'd best get used to killing a number of treant's first.
You say you're a goodly-aligned magic type, but you want an Oracle Robe? You wont find some evil orc keeping them stashed away somewhere. You'll have to kill the innocent Oracle in cold blood.

The truly unfortunate result of this is that it propogates the "hey that named farmer is white to me, lets kill him and see what he has!" notion, as people start raising levels, you'll see this more & more too.

In the name of Erollisi I hope there is another way to get these than by killing one of the sisters. I feel dirty at even the thought that there are Necromancers hunting sisters for there pelts, I mean belts. I guess I will have to make a pilgrimage to that island and cast my belt into the sea. I have much pennance to do for profitting by the death of such an unfortunate.

Good thing I'm not on the pvp server or I'd spend all my time dying while trying to prevent people from killing the poor little sisters. come to think of it that's why I'm not on the pvp server. I'd be spending all my time dying trying to protect all the good people getting killed by other supposedly good people. Nothing like watching a paladin slaughtering stonecarvers in Butcherblock, asking him what he's doing, and having him respond, "They're the only thing in BB that gives me xp, and I can kill them while waiting for the boat." If that isn't bad enough, he was in /roleplaying mode! Some people will never get it.
