Certainly to Gwyn, the Abyss was something of evil, considering that it represented the polar opposite of the his essence and the essence of his clan. And in an age without fire, even if only for a finite time like the Age of Fire, I would imagine that he and his family would be weakened by the Dark. While to humans the Abyss is apparently a locus of tranquility, and a "living" piece of what it means to be human, I think we can all understand Gwyn wanting to supress and spread negative propaganda of it.

Though in the ever changing cosmos, one should not try to alter thing to your taste, especially if it forsakes the "Many of the new world" for the "Few of the old world." Come to think of it, his delegation of his own children makes me think it was either to protect himself and his power alone, or that they were nesicary losses to ensure security for his remaining posterity.
