That's part of the problem itself. Arbert tells us "Light and Dark are just tools", but never explains what that means. We never saw them trying to spread Darkness in a 'good' way - only deliberately tormenting the beast tribes and trying to murder us, guided by whatever Elidibus has explained to them about how Light and Darkness work.

I really don't want an entire story full of "you have to do this awful thing! The only way to save these people is to make them suffer!" ...and yet we have no idea what else "spreading Darkness" could entail at this point.
