Given the new concept that demons are corrupted elementals, and just want to destroy things for the sake of it, why is one of the major deities saddled with destruction as a major part of his portfolio? Aren't the new gods supposed to be the ones who brought order to the universe? Or did Gruumsh become addicted to destruction during the war with the primordials (sort of a let he who fights monsters beware lest he become a monster himself kind of thing?) Or is there more to this?
Thoughts?

"When you stare into the Abyss, the Abyss stares back into you"
It is very possible that Gruumsh is a these thoughts given shape/form/manifestation. Because so many people feel it on such a deep level it was given form.
or maybe he just got hit with the backwash of The Elder Elemental Eye's stuff.
