>four "chaos" gods>only one actually embodies the concept of chaoswhat did they mean by this?
>>97345793>only one actually embodies the concept of chaos>still just embodies it in the most stale, predictable fashion imaginableseems pretty much not chaotic if you ask me
>>97345793Religiously, in traditional cultures/religion, "chaos" meant "the forces outside civilization." City = order. Wilderness = chaos. So anything animalistic like rage, rampant sex, gluttony--all traditionally "chaos" in things like Greek and Mesopotamian and Laventine religion (also the ocean is chaos for some reason). Just look at Gilgamesh or the Bible for stories where the good gods slay the chaos gods: yaweh versus leviathan, gilgamesh versus hambaba. Civilization good. Destablizing civilization? Chaos. Hence Enkidu (who gets away from chaos by drinking beer, eating bread and sleeping with a prostitute). Really, tzeentch embodies chaos least of all, out of them.
Of course the real answer is just Moorcock and Anderson. That's where Warhammer and D&D both get their law/chaos dichotomy from.
>>97345916>also the ocean is chaos for some reasonthis is perfectly reasonable logic if your seafaring technology caps out at coracles and a prayer
>>97345916>>97346153Chaos was associated with the ocean because back then it meant the primordial abyss from which all life came from. Chaos being associated with disorder is a more recent invention.
