Lii,

You've used that word 'logic' a number of times in your post. I cannot help but be under the impression you have your own warped definition of what it means.

For your first point, you are indeed correct that those things were created before Chaos entered into Creation. Well, aside from the fact that the Lord Smith created the Dwarves, not Lord Proteus/Ayar. You seem to be forgetting that the Aldar, and the Tsol'aa lacked direction. All that they did, they did simply because it is how they were created to act. The first Dwarves were also mindless husks, living purely to serve the Lord Smith; something beyond His ability to change.

For your second point, you are not telling the whole truth. You are also missing the point. People do, indeed, fight against Chaos. People also, daily, lose the fight against it. Targossians, frequently, lose the fight against it. Eleusis indeed made a stand, they also got crushed beneath its heel, with the vast majority of their army backing from the war that Oblivion brought to their doorstep. I'm sure the Warlord will graciously retell of his endeavours, should you seek to know more about that.

For your third point, Chaos is indeed beyond mortal comprehension. It is a good thing for us then, that we struck Accords with those who do understand the workings of it, isn't it? You say the world does not evolve through Chaos, yet the Mythos you quote so strongly goes against that notion. The Human race was brought about purely because of Chaos. A race whose minds were not one-dimensional like the Dwarves, and the Tsol'aa. A race who were unpredictable to even Lord Proteus himself, capable of acting of their own free will, beyond His machinations. I'm not sure about you, but I'd say this is, indeed, evolution.

For your last point, you seem to misunderstand what Dominion is. If you knew, then it's 'existence' would not need to be proven. I would encourage reading of the Ruinous Accords at your earliest convenience... As for proving the world is going to end? That doesn't need to be proven, either. That is simply the cycle of life and death, not the ravings of some madman. All that lives, must one day die. The world is a living organism, it too, will perish. It need not be at the hands of Chaos, though.

Micaelis,

I already stated in my post that I had no intention of swaying anyone to Chaos's cause. As I stated previously, Chaos does not need mortal influence for it to thrive. It was my understanding that the Mythos that everyone seems to have so thoroughly read already, would know at least this much without needing to be told.

I'm not much interested in debating which side is right. Is Chaos better? Is Light better? That is something no mortal knows. Fortunately it is also not my purpose to persuade you either way. My invitation was given to the Hand, since he saw fit to grandstand despite being slaughtered the last time he took up arms.

That said, I'm not against extending the invitation further since he does not seem much interested in expanding his mind. As you said: Who knows, maybe both of us will come away with new knowledge, hmm? My times waking will be largely sporadic until about Scarlatan, though, so perhaps some time after then? You're welcome to contact via messages until such a date can be settled.
