Xaositects
tell you what the Xaositects are about? Well, I guess I could. Let’s see. We support - no, I’m sorry, that’s someone else. We don’t support anything. That’s what we’re about. Have you ever eaten at Vander’s? Good variety. I ate there today and had an owlbear-egg omelet. I don’t know where they got the owlbear egg. My dog I had as a kid looked a lot like an owlbear. Except smaller And no beak. l talked to a vrock last week Or last month? He seemed a little m€an at first, but I left him alone, and he left me alone. That’s what the Xaositects are all about after all, leaving a cutter alone to do his own thing. Have you ever been anywhere with a moon? seen place is when eyes of a wonderful, through the multiverse the chaos.
did i mention chaos? everything is chaos berk, be a part of it, a part it of be, be a it of part. get it?
and that is what we are all about.
History
The Xaositects - now there’s a weird lot Their history’s a little odd too. As near as anyone can tell, the Xaositects showed up in Sigil quite some time after the Great Upheaval: about 150 years ago - at least under their current name. A body bored enough to check records could find some very old references to groups like the Xaositects. The chant says the barmies’ve been around as long as any faction, though - under one name or another. Various documents talk about Xaosopiles, the Discordant Opposition, the Ochlocrats, and dozens more, some with even sillier names. It might be that the same group changes its name every once in a while, or all these different groups could really have been unrelated.
See, that’s one of the problems with the Xaositects: They don’t write things down. They don’t have a real headquarters, and they don’t keep histories So, a body’s got to glean an account of the Xaositects from the records of other factions. And that doesn’t come to much. These accounts all do paint the same picture of the group, though: They’re trouble. Well, at least most of them. Most of the time.
The Xaositects never start any movements that last very long, and they rarely do anything of historical sinficance, ’cause historically significant events usually require a level of planning that’s beyond them. ’Course. a basher can’t even make that rule about the Xaositects.
There are a few exceptions.
+ While the Hardheads were still pretty new to the Cage
a couple of centuries ago, a few Xaositects got lucky
and managed to assassinate the factol by hitting him
in the head with an hourglass.
+ A gaggle of Xaositects went into The Lady’s Ward 20
years ago and messed around in a bunch of the local
manors’ courtyards; some owners woke up the next
morning to find only ragged ground, while others
found beautiful rock gardens.
+A decade or so ago they arranged an alliance with
every single faction at the same time. ’Course, it
lasted only about 12 minutes because, when the other
factions realized what was going on, they broke the
alliances quick
+And just a few weeks ago, a lot of ’em got together
and painted a mural on the Great Gymnasium, a
mural most folks consider one of the most beautiful
works of art in the planes.
All that might sound pretty benign, or at least harmless. (Except for the assassination) But the Xaositects can take credit for a few other memorable incidents; even though they seem almost incapable of planning major operations, accidents happen. For instance, take the
time the Sensates threw a party and invited the Chaosmen.
