Lore

 In the beginning, the universe was a void of perfect order, sterile and stagnant. Lokaros emerged from the primordial chaos, shattering this static perfection with his presence, birthed from the Goddess Cosmos. Through his influence, the first stars ignited, planets formed, and life began to emerge. His actions introduced the randomness necessary for evolution and growth.

Many seek Lokaros’s guidance when facing upheaval or seeking to break free from oppressive structures, hoping to harness the power of chaos for growth and transformation.

The "Codex of Change" is the sacred text of Lokaros’s faith. It is a collection of parables, prophecies, and philosophical musings, written in a fragmented and nonlinear style. The text challenges readers to find their own meaning and understanding, reflecting the chaotic nature of Lokaros himself.

Lokaros teaches that chaos is an essential part of life and the universe. Through chaos, new opportunities arise, and old, stagnant structures are broken down. Embracing chaos means accepting change, finding strength in adversity, and seeing potential in disorder. Lokaros’s followers are encouraged to be adaptable, open-minded, and fearless in the face of the unknown.
