The Shattered Whirl

Kaos’ divine realm is The Shattered Whirl, a realm where nothing remains stable for long. It is an endless, chaotic storm of broken landscapes, shifting gravity, and cascading madness.
One moment, one might find themselves walking through a floating city of upside-down towers, only to have the entire space collapse into a screaming void where thoughts have weight and memories turn into living things. The very fabric of reality twists unpredictably—rivers flow upward, mountains melt into storms of color, and time itself fractures, creating moments that exist both before and after each other.
At the heart of this madness is The Maelstrom Core, a swirling vortex of raw chaos where the very concept of existence frays into incoherence. To approach it is to risk being unmade, reshaped, or cast into an existence where nothing follows logic. Some say that Kaos itself resides within the Maelstrom Core, but others claim that even they are merely a reflection of something even greater and more unknowable.
Mortals who find themselves in the Shattered Whirl rarely return unchanged. Some emerge speaking in tongues that have never been spoken before. Others lose all sense of identity, becoming living manifestations of disorder. A few, those truly touched by Kaos, return as prophets of madness, their minds shattered yet filled with impossible truths.
