This is not a professional game. Lun actively tries to avoid RPG conventions and such. It is entirely possible and even likely that Lun has been completely misleading us about dark forces and the lord below and such up till now.
You can't deal with The Way the same way as you deal with other games.
Anyway, it isn't even hinted that the Lord Below, assuming he existed, did anything but destroy auras when he let off that wave. We are conjecturing that this could have corrupted the illuminati and such, since we're fairly certain those were used to fight him. This is a somewhat stable theory.
However, the existence of Venge, the Mimic and all that could all be a fantasy to give Rhue delusions of granduer after he read some fables by Kleunwarde (was that his name?) in order to manipulate him in the exact same way as when the sword made the Jeruh aura think Serena was still alive. We don't know if Venge exists, that he would have even fought the Lord Below, and we can't be sure that the Illuminati wielding heros didn't fight the LB and cause him to retaliate witht he ADW all on their own.
I don't mind if we make conjectures from more solid theories, but the whole Venge thing is a crapshoot, we don't know what happened.
