Hear, hear. Dear lord, whether you take "Light" to represent order or goodness, BOTH are in mighty short supply from what we've seen! And yet, we're supposed to believe we're on the bleeding edge of a Flood of Light? If that's the case, then a "balanced" world sure would be a terrible place to live...

It's part of the reason that I believe there's a strong chance that we're going to be adventuring on the First Shard - a place ALREADY flooding with light, and the details of how it got that way conveniently obscured - and THAT'S why we're going to have to don the mantle of Darkness for a time. Whether that will be most, or only part of the reason we become the Warrior of Darkness, I do not yet know. But it sure doesn't seem like we're in dire need of more Darkness on the Source!
