You are quite mistaken, Montago. Chaos is not essential to creation.
Creation existed for quite some time on a separate plane from chaos and
it existed quite peacefully. However, in saying that chaos is the effect
in Shallam, I feel you are correct. Though this is to be pitied and not
revered.

Do not misunderstand nor misinterpret the position of those ousted from
Shallam. What the Council of Shallam has taken from us was merely a
channel and a title. My position on Good and on chaos remains the same.
They have not taken my voice. They have not swayed me from where I
stand. Chaos will always be in direct conflict with what is Good if for
no other reason than it encourages the removal of logic and sound moral
judgement.
