The God of Chaos
The Boundless Unmaker
The Unshaped Abyss
Before time was carved into measured steps, before law bound the heavens, before Order named the world, there was Chaos. It did not build, for it knew no purpose. It did not rule, for it knew no master. It simply was—boundless, eternal, unknowable. It was the seething maelstrom from which all things were birthed and to which all things must one day return.
When the Gods of Order shaped the world, when they wove the laws that held existence in place, Chaos did not fight—it simply was not contained. The more they sought to define the world, the more Chaos bled through the cracks, slipping between the words of law, unraveling the seams of creation.
It was only when Order stood against it in full, when the gods forged barriers to hold it at bay, that Chaos became the Great Enemy, the force that would forever seek to undo what they had built.
The Whisper in the Void
Unlike the gods of Order, Chaos does not command, nor does it demand worship. It does not send emissaries to dictate its will. Instead, it whispers. It seduces. It unmakes.
To some, it comes as a voice in the dark, offering liberation from law, from form, from the burden of structure. To others, it is a hunger within their bones, a gnawing madness that calls them to dissolve into its embrace. No two followers of Chaos speak of it the same way, for no two minds perceive it in the same shape.
To The Disciples of Chaos, it is the One True God, the force that predates all others, the rightful ruler of all things. They believe that Order’s reign is unnatural, a brittle construct imposed upon a world that was meant to shift and writhe. And so, they work to unearth the bones of their god, to break the barriers that bind it, to let the storm consume the world once more.
The Sigil of Chaos
There is no singular symbol that can capture the nature of Chaos, for to define it is to limit it, and it cannot be limited. Yet, those who call upon its power often mark themselves with twisting, ever-shifting runes, symbols that warp and change when one looks away. Some depict it as a spiraling abyss, others as a shattered crown, others still as an eye that never sees the same thing twice.
It is said that when Chaos draws near, all things begin to change—words shift upon the page, colors flicker and bleed into one another, the air itself hums with the tension of something waiting to be undone.
The Nature of Worship
Unlike the churches of Order, there are no temples to Chaos. There are no priests, no sacred texts, no rituals set in stone. Instead, there are movements, cults, mad prophets who speak of the Coming Unmaking. The only unifying truth among them is that change is the only constant, and that nothing should remain as it is.
Some seek Chaos to escape the weight of Order’s laws, to be free of restriction, to live as they please. Others crave the destruction it brings, reveling in the collapse of civilizations, of laws, of identity itself. And there are those—perhaps the most dangerous of all—who see Chaos as the inevitable truth. To them, Order’s resistance is futile, and they seek not to fight, not to conquer, but simply to let go.
The Inevitable Return
Chaos was never truly banished, only pushed beyond the veil, forced into the spaces between existence. It has no form to strike down, no kingdom to conquer, no armies to rout, for Chaos is everywhere. It is in the cracks of every law, in the fading memories of a forgotten past, in the madness that lurks at the edge of reason.
And so, when the last fortress of Order crumbles, when the last decree is broken, when even the Gods of Order fade into silence, Chaos will not need to return.
For it will already be here.
Do you hear it? The whisper at the edge of thought? The laughter between the spaces of silence? That is the voice of the true god. That is the song of Chaos. And it will never stop singing.
