holy has nothing to do with inherently defending the lifestream,
I can agree with this part but I stand with the rest of what I've been saying regardless.
Though chaos magic is not any more evil in nature than occultism. You can even argue, in lore, that its LESS evil.

If you look through the lore by searching the term of Chaos : https://chronicles-of-eternia.com/lore/i...arch&go=Go
Chaos is often attributed to entropy, disorder, discord, and destruction.
And Chaos "doesn't create", but rather it alters what's existing. This is why the forces of the Fel seek rather domination, control and corruption. And Chaos often has affected Primordials to go also crazy and rogue, which lead us to the creation of the Pantheon as Amier splits.

Quote:Even with the banishment of Hel, the world was far from stable in the aftermath. Humanity endured with the protections of benevolent spirits, but there were many chaotic Primals that were corrupted still causing routine natural disasters.
Even if I take the page about Nethradin on the Spirit realm, it says this : https://chronicles-of-eternia.com/lore/i...#Nethradin
Quote:Nethradin are corrupted Esssence spirits, often after spending many years in Helheim. They serve one of the five Marquis, the great rulers of Hel, and by extension the transcendental force of evil that humans might refer to as 'chaos' or the 'dark lord' that governs the realm with as much power as a Divine Spirit.
This is perhaps why in the ticket, there is the idea for you to try to encourage to change the vision of such.
Or ! Alternatively, you can embrace the "apostate" nature of Chaos as in instead of breaking what is already founded, you change or improve it for a better end rather than in rebellion. It still goes against nature, but people will be less mad if for example a golem of stone acts more humanely rather than a rogue elemental, if you see what I mean.
Remember : Apostate is not an evil or pejorative term. It simply means you reject the idea of something, in this case you reject how is the ''default'' of the Universe to try making something better and different, in your definition.
As much as I'd love to do that and embrace it: This literally fucks over my IC.
I'm not complaining just to complain, I've been working hand in hand with Harmony and its church since it perfectly aligns with my belief.
I don't agree that the label fits my belief at all. The ENTIRE POINT of this system is to have people who can worship the same deity but have different angles on it. I worship Chaos in an Animist matter.
It really should be as simple as that. Its what my movement is. Its bullshit that people are defining what I am doing wrong and focusing only on one end of it.
A Chaos / apostate movement could exist. Mine is not that.
