RE: ToH - Darkness will??prevail
Because it all depends on how do you define evil.
What if evil is defined only as disobeying the law? Plenty of people in today's society think that it's the law that is the absolute evil. Some people have some pretty twisted sense of "good" and "evil" compare to the norm in society. Even in real life, lots of western countries once believed in eugenics, and that was the work of the law doing what is considered today as evil. But, it's the absolute good since eugenics will "improve human race as a whole" in the eyes of that time period.
For all that matter, light may legally kill off a peaceful village "for the greater good" of some sort, defined by whoever is in charge, which you can only hope that it's someone who resists evil.
If you have trouble with light and dark falling outside of good and evil, you can treat it in the metaphorical sense that light is called "light" because it is not the one in hiding, as they follow certain sets of values that help you understand what they are up to much easier. Dark on the other hand, are hidden in intentions, waiting in the darkness for the perfect opportunity to carry out their wishes no matter the cost. Thus you reduce the good and evil part a lot more that way.
Ah the dangers of relativism and how much chaos it stirs~ but then all's only for fun and not bad to muse about it at times within a game~
