Greetings Brinn, son of Unnameable, child of Chaos! Although I agree
with you fullheartedly that it is each city's right to cast their own
laws, it perhaps is good to correct the many inaccuracies in your
discourse so that we do not dillute our shared support of the freedom of
cities to cast their own laws as they see fit.

No members of Eris' order participated in that debate. I have no idea
where you got that idea.

Read the histories. It states that "at the time of Creation, He created
two realms. One, the realm we know, was filled with a multitude of
planes and universes, each with its own set of physical and immutable
laws." It is hard to see how this world was changing if it had "its own
set of physical and immutable laws", immutable being the key word.

Entropy is at the heart of Chaos, as everyone knows. Entropy is
officially defined as, "A measure of the disorder or randomness in a
closed system." If randomness doesn't cause once immutable things to
change then I don't know what does.

The definition of "could" is, "Used to indicate possibility or
permission in the past". Thus if you take the Logos' words literally
rather than adding your own heresy into His holy writing, then you would
see that this means that Chaos has a chance of destroying said region.
That means there is also a chance it would not. Thus these words do not
support pro-Chaos or anti-Chaos advocates unless you twist the Logos'
words.
Next time you post in public, please know your facts.

PS-And yes, in regards to my perhaps perplexing greeting, you mhuns
descend from humans who are the spawns of pure Chaos, of that being
which is now a part of Eris. Additional duscussion topic for the
curious: does this make Brinn and Aldair blood relatives of Eris? We
tsol'aas can only envy the raw Chaos that flows through your soul. Just
a random arbitrary thought that occured to me as I compose this...
