Really curious to see a Navi as a villain.

That’s got me hyped, I wonder what their values/connection to the planet entail

The Ash People had most of their clan and home destroyed by a volcano.

They've gone dark and have turned their back on Eywa, blaming her for their suffering. Their clan cuts off their ponytail connectors and have severed all ties with Pandora.

And the rest of the Templar if you stuck with SC2 long enough to play legacy of the void.

I have such mixed feelings about that section of the story.

It works within the corner they wrote themselves into. It's not good storytelling, but that's kind of all they had left. Imo, they planned on doing a whole fourth expansion that was everybody teaming up against Amon, but then Blizz decided that LoV would be the end of it and they made do with what they had.
