Curious for curious sake, was there any sort of written or spoken proof that the Ancients were not prone to as malicious or cruel intentions as the sundered? I assume that just because we did not get a side quest where someone in Elpis tried to rob you or sell your organs doesn't mean all of Etheirys was innocent? We know that in Elpis specifically, if we considered all creations to be "life" some of their actions could be seen as "cruel" akin to things like animal testing(not exactly the same realm, but the closest thing I could relate it too). There were obviously laws and for those laws there must have been people breaking them. Even Hesperos in Pandemonium for all we know(so far) could be a more evil or cynical Ancient. Perhaps this was their thought of trying to present the Ancients as "scary" as possible without going too far off the deep end? just speculation for fun.
