Light Lord is not an official title, nor is it something that someone can claim for themselves. Rather, it's something us from the Dark mutter between ourselves about a particularly sanctimonious person who has a high influence over society and an urge to destroy anything associated with the Dark.   Contrary to the title of Dark Lord, the "Light" never recognises it publicly, as such a move would be too arrogant—or rather, they cannot agree on a clear leader among each other and despite all their precious morals, they could not put their personal ambitions away for the greater good. And none of them have the guts to outright murder their rivals to claim the title.
 
 

Characteristics

 
In order to be deemed "worthy" of the title, a person need to have:
 

Holier-than-thou attitude

Hypocrisy

Harangue the mass to educate

Herd everyone to "better" standards

Hatred of anything "Dark"
 
 

Current holder of the title

 
Dark public opinion
Public opinion among the Dark society: he absolutely nails the holier-than-thou attitude and nobody can stand him. Unfortunately, he's a frightening duellist and only the Dark Lord himself is able to face him on an equal standing, so there won't be any getting rid of him before the war. And it cannot come soon enough...

What an interesting contrast to the Dark Lords often seen in various places. Based on some of the language used to describe the requirements of their position, some people are probably annoyed by them. I guess when someone is actively and constantly holding one to a higher standard that it can get annoying. Vices are strong motivators and the cause of many aggressive actions. Or it could be the hypocrisy, because contradictions seem to be a constant across universes. Probably all of the above and then some. In any case, this world is probably better off with people who at least try however annoying it can be to the less enlightened (though there is always a time and a place to exercise tact- at various levels).   Of course I have to be mindful about commentary on political systems I've just been introduced to.

Thanks for the comment! Yes, the hostility is mix of the Light Lord telling people things they don't want to hear and him being a big hypocrite on some topics XD A lot of politics in this world (and probably in the real world too) is decided by whether people are likeable or whether others find them offensive.   In this world, I'm writing from the POV of people on the Dark side, so they wouldn't agree with the "this world is probably better off with people who at least try" XD But since the Light is currently in power, you're only voicing what most of the people think and would not get in troubles for that .
