Chaos is a raging sea of entropic energy and matter at the heart of the Universe. It is the origin of all the systems that have come after it. It is where the primordials came from and where their lesser creations still roam.

Though most of Chaos is an ever-changing landscape defined by chaos and unpredictability there are areas within the chaos that have a more defined set of stability. These islands are formed through the will and power of mighty elemental beings, often primordials but including other denizens of the Chaos as well. Within these realms a sort of order is maintained, often reflecting the nature of its creator and ruler. [1]

Chaos has no worlds. It is a vast expanse of broken planets, dying stars, and vast amounts of matter and every form of energy. The nearest planets to Chaos are the Elemental Ring Worlds. The two closest systems are Limbo and what was once called Piranoths Steps.

Chaos is governed by instability, entropy, and change. This means that entropic energy is purposed to unravel other energies and break matter down. Over time, things are built or come into being, but if they lack someone or something to keep them together, then entropic energy will begin to dismantle them. Worlds like Granitoid and Muspelheim have remained intact on the edge of this sea of chaos because certain Higher Powers have turned them into sources of their power.

They may not realize it, but when the demon lords seized Piranoths Steps, they instilled it with a bit of Negative Entropy.

In the Dawn Era, the Creationists began building worlds all that goes in them. To the great powers of Chaos, creation of this magnitude was seen as bringing law and stability to their area of control. The Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE) was a conflict to undo creation, returning it all to the folds of chaos.
