I've been playing this game for 3 1/2yrs now and the light/dark thing has finally dumbed me down.

our WoL is a grand hero who keeps saving everyone and solving problems, slaying anything thats scary but may end up bringing an apocalypse, and now i'm trying to understand why.

why are the ascians so hellbent on destuction
why are the garleans so hellbent on destruction.

and now after being on this forum and reading about different worlds/stars I think its time someone broke it down for me how after so much fighting to save we're heading towards oblivion instead.
