It was Loghrif and Emet plan to create the strongest Warriors of Light of the First, making them have success against their minions, and by doing that making the Light stronger in the balance with the Darkness.

The end should have been to kill their last and most powerful servant, creating the ideal situation for a Rejoining.
But by killing Loghrif instead, an Ascian that is more or less Darkness incarnate, they basically won too much, breaking the balance entirely, in a world where the Light is already too strong, provoking the Flood.
I still don't quite understand, Ascians aren't native to the First so why would their life or death have any connection to the alignment of the First? If the source Warrior of Light was defeated and became a sin eater, would the First get "darker" as a result?
