I haven't played in a few months, so my memory is a bit fuzzy. If I remember correctly, the Ascians are trying to cause an event known as the Rejoining which is suppose to fuse each individual realm back into one. From our perspective, that is to say the PC's, the Rejoining would destroy our home and take innumerable lives. However, I think we're missing the bigger picture here.
Keep in mind, I've only made it as far as the Rak'Tika Greatwood portion of the story, and my memory is fuzzy as previously stated. Wouldn't the Rejoining possibly bring about a whole, and thus possibly more stable, world for whatever creatures take up residence on the new world? That alone could mean so much more, like less hostile flora and fauna, a greater abundance of food, greater population growth, etc. This is just conjecture on my part, but I always try to look at things without bias.
In Skyrim, Alduin was to eat the world so the next could be born. While Alduin himself is a douche, that isn't because of his title as World Eater. In WoW, Sargeras wanted to wipe out all the planets because there was no way to know which planets had been corrupted by the Void Lords. However, he knew another universe would be born soon after the destruction of the current one. I'm sure there are other games with similar stories that I haven't thought of, but you get the point.
So let's discuss this shall we, in a civil manner please. Are the Ascians wrong for wanting to bring about the Rejoining?
