Lore-ish Thoughts

So I was just wandering around, pretending to paddle one of the non-moving boats in Stormwind with my spear, when a thought occurred. Why is it that the forces of good are basically one major non-warfaring group whereas the different factions of evil all hate each other and want to see the others dead?

Think about it. Kil'jaeden and Illidan have a mutual hate for each other (and are currently the two end game bosses), The Lich King just wants everything dead, the Burning Legion is on a quest for cosmic domination and will attempt to crush everything in their path, and I'm pretty sure that Zul'jin and Prince Malchezaar aren't on good terms with one another. There is a TON of hate going on between the forces of naughtiness (*is surprised that "naughtiness" is a word*), but all the forces of good don't hate anything other than the essence of evil in whatever form it's taking.

Cenarion Expedition? Good, only naga hating. The Sha'tar? Protectors of Shattrath and all things good, recruiting members from both Horde and Alliance to aid them in their cause. Argent Dawn? The NOT crazy/demon controlled Demolishers of the Scourge and force of Righteousness in the Plaguelands. There are others, but the point is that none of these "forces of light" have any angst directed at the others. Sure the Aldor and Scryers hate each other to no end, but they don't count, that's just more good 'ole fashion Horde vs. Alliance only you can choose the side you're on...or not and just be infinitely neutral with both. Which would be odd to see or do.

Now I pose a question to you, my viewers: What lore-esque conundrums have you thought/wondered about?

And that being said, I'm outy 5000.

Good Hunting,
Tox
