The Kaoticon
"Perhaps there are some things man was never meant to tamper with."
There are many things about the nature of Kaos that remain unknown. This book is the manifestation of all there is to know about him. When it was discovered, shortly after civilization was starting to take form, a disaster occured that tore the pages from their binding, and scattered them across the globe. This "accident" was a storm, caused by Endiro sneezing, an act which he apologized for, but none of the Elderon accepted. This was because none of the Elderon believed such an act was an accident, nor a mistake.
The pages of this book contain knowledge that can drive mortals to the brink of madness and back, and the mere sight of some of them can be enough to leave one comatose. There are many who sought out these pages in the early days of magic, for they needed a test subject for the more dangerous spells. Many pages have been found by these people and subsequently cut, drenched, ripped apart, burned to ash, had the ashes burned, turned into a duck, then roasted alive, and then been split apart at the atomic level, not necessarily in that order.
Despite the tome being rendered forever incomplete, there are still some madmen and lunatics who seek its pages, and the power contained within. These are the Kaos Klan , and with what few pages they have managed to obtain, they have caused massive amounts of damage. Despite their obvious threat, rarely does a section of this Klan ever reach trial, due to the rituals contained requiring a large amount of soul power - which they happened to have handy.

A heavy metal version of the Necronomicon is the sense I'm getting. :D
This sentence is a bit confusing; it's a bit of a jumble and it's not clear exactly how they came across the book or how they destroyed it. It also isn't clear why you are putting things in quotation marks. I get the geist of the sentence, trickster gods gonna trickster, but I'm not sure about some of the specifics: did the Elderon not accept his apology? Did it have any other consequences for him? I'm also curious: why is it so dangerous? What can people do with it? If the pages can be destroyed, how much of it has been lost forever by current day? Keep up the good work :)Creator of Araea, Megacorpolis, and many others.
Thank you for your input, I'll make these changes as soon as possible! I want to keep exactly how many Kaoticon pages remain as vague as possible to preserve the mystery, but the reason they're so dangerous is because the rituals they describe have a tendency to take the casters souls as fuel for a destructive monster beyond mortal comprehension. I plan on putting at least three or so disasters of this kin in my timeline, so folks can know exactly what this thing is capable of.
Gotcha! There wasn't much regarding where it came from: do you intent to provide any information about that or leave it entirely as a mystery? :)

I mainly intend to leave it as a mystery. After all, it is an eldritch tome!
