When working up from the tonic, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes. Because the fifth and seventh scale degrees become the more consonant minor tritone and the minor sixth respectively, the flat tritone sounds more like a stable scale function. Hlanithian, in particular, is a lot like a more stable version of the Locrian mode in diatonic | When working up from the tonic, the darker modes are radically different in character than the brighter modes.
