The Chaos Maelstrom is a storm of entropic energy leftover from an ancient time. Normally trapped in the Web of Magic, a pollutant that even the mighty weave spiders cannot rid, it sometimes finds a temporary escape. A mini-rift or other anomaly unleashes the storm on the land and peoples beneath it. Like the Sea of Entropy, the effects are unpredictable, with rivers flowing in the opposite direction, grasslands changing colors, creatures becoming mutated, land changing shape.
Legend has it that the Chaos Maelstrom was created when the god Benevolence slew his wife Kesserine.
Benevolence in a fit of unbridled rage, battled Kesserine ... with each blow from her mighty sword of pure whiteness, the sky cracked with thunder. Kesserine fought feebly against such passion and rage. After a day of battle between them and their armies, she was slain. Her essence merged with the Weave, becoming a storm of chaos, the Chaos Malestrom. The sadness and grief of what had been produced in the false marriage and the death of the wife he still loved was too much for Benevolence. A year to the day later, at first his body froze in place, then it petrified, rising up into the clouds in pursuit of his lost wife. It did not leave this world, instead it was trapped on our side of the Web, left to drift on the Weird Flow.

In 1296, an ancient entropic organization opened a rift to a faraway world. This inter-system bridge, the Sink of Chaos, served as a magnet for a passing Chaos Maelstrom. After coming across, for weeks this storm of chaos hung lazily over Hleittil, dumping entropic energy on the land and peoples below.
In 1829, a Chaos Maelstrom froze a strip of the Nautrek Sea. This created a temporary land-bridge between the continents of Elemantum and Brucrumus and cracked the Elemantum Boundary Ward. A Cinderfall army came through this crack, besieging Mogdúlg, then joining the Chaos's legions in the form of the Flux Pact.
