Leave it to humans to subvert each other in times of crisis. But in this case, this was still a game, and one that I think engenders subversion. In the north, ^ban^ did hint that the Undead didn't have as a goal the destruction of the human realms. In the case of the daimons, I have some confidence that among their goals was in fact destruction which explains ICly the large swath of land the Netherworld was responsible for blighting. The monsters, I can have a somewhat educated guess that they sought conquest as one of their goals so taking over regions furthered those ends.
There was something about the Light, but I will defer to Anaris as to whether he is willing and/or allowed to reveal that alternative.
