Out of chaos, comes order.

Keeping track of plagues is not the same thing as imposing regulations and rules.

And your second sentence doesn't make sense.

**King Pariah**

He's not imposing regulations or rules, just reaping back (with interest) from those who fall from grace/favor from the gods/a god.

The second sentence is a quote.

**ChaosForged**

Well, a Chaos god of Madness, maybe?
I mean, seriously, the original Four Gods are chaotic and all, but they a nowhere near being really insane. More then that, they actually are pretty consistent at what they do.
Khorne kills stuff and writes his craniology dissertation, Nurgle stagnates all day long, Tzeench has a Plan for everythig (aimless Plan it may be, and everchanging, but he still follows it), Slaanesh is the biggest sybarite in the universe and s/he likes it.
No one expects them to act otherwise, nor will they act otherwise.
Now the Crazy God is another matter entirely, for he is inconsistense incarnate. He is the patron of mad and insane, of those who commit their atrocities(or something else) without any clear purpose, only becouse they feel whimsy about it.
Alas, i do not belive there can actually be a cult of such God, for a cult demands an organisation of some sort, and here we have an obvious problem.

P.S. Maybe it was already proposed, 9 pages - a lot of letters to read, so i might have missed it =).

He'd be enforcing the law and punishing those who broke it. That makes him a force of order.

@ChaosForged
That could work.

**King Pariah**

Yeah, and order sprung from chaos, they may be opposites, but order was born from chaos (Not Chaos mind you).

Yeah, but order and chaos aren't on the same team. A force of order can't be a Chaos God. That's what I'm trying to explain.

**King Pariah**

Why Not? Makes as much sense as having a God of Atheism/Nihilism

Chaos God of Insanity you say? Hm........

You realize that Games Workshop got rid of that god because it was stupid? And that it was never included in 40k?

**King Pariah**

And they brought him back indirectly. Malice covers it

**LoneLictor**

I looked this up and it turns out they did. Well, that's a crying shame. I guess if you want you can have yer Chaos God of Order. GW set the bar low enough for that.

**King Pariah**

Bwahahahaha!!!! (I don't actually want him, I just wanted a little fun, Thanks!

)

**Psienesis**

Malal became Malice.

Necoho was never Malal.

Malal was the God of Nihilism, Anarchy, and Vengeance before Necoho was the God of Nihilism.

**Urien_Rakarth**

I like Madness alot!!!!!!!

Of course you can always add in the causes of the madness, ie. FEAR, sickness, TIME etc...

Maybe I'll get my Fear god after all...

**Psienesis**

Necoho was never the god of Nihilism. Necoho was the Atheist God.

**King Pariah**

True, my bad, but religious nihilism is a form of atheism (There is no god nor purpose whereas a simple atheist may believe in purpose still exists)

So, it'd be possible to have demigods that share the domains of the Main Four (Ambition, Self Preservation, Rage and Hedonism). Obviously they wouldn't be nearly as strong as the Big Four and would in fact spend most of their time trying to avoid being killed in the Great Game, but they could exist.

EXAMPLE: Kialidine is the Demigod of Revenge and Provoked Wrath. He is a recent addition to the pantheon of Chaos, having gained sentience a mere three hundred years ago. By taking up the domain of vengeance, he has intruded on rage, Khorne's domain, much to Khorne's rage. As of the moment Kiadlidine spends most of his time evading the Blood God and plotting his revenge. Several of his followers have summoned him to the material realm, where Khorne holds less influence.

Kiadlidine frequently goes by the moniker of the Serpent Marquis, based on his appearance and that of his Daemons. He is a writhing mass of snake heads, from the tiniest Corn Snakes to the largest Anacondas, all poised to strike at a moment's notice. The Serpent Marquis' Greater Daemons are viper headed elephantine creatures with poisonous barbs defending their bloated forms. His Lesser Daemons are not quite as impressive, materializing merely as scaly, rattlesnake headed porcupines.

The Serpent Marquis has expent most of his limited power by investing in a mortal Champion of the Black Legion known as Varitas. He has elevated Varitas to Daemon Princedom and bestowed him with a great warband of ever loyal Daemons and enslaved cultists. Kiadlidine prays that his Champion will spread his holy word and gain many followers, for if he fails Kiadlidine knows that only Khorne's axe awaits him.

Damn, I wrote a lot. I kinda really got into writing that. But you get the point.

Wow, that's pretty neat.
Did you just make it up, or did you take it from somewhere?

"You may call me Anne-Marie...if you are partial to having your intenstines skip roped over by an angry god! No? Then my name is Sheogorath. Charmed"

I fething love that guy...

**Urien_Rakarth**

Spelt Cegorash if you mean the Eldar Laughing God. +1 I love him to

**Psienesis**

Sheogorath is the Daedric Prince of Madness from the Elder Scrolls series of games.

Ehm... not really. You can have an incredibly complex arrangement of gods and planar cosmology and still believe that there is no ultimate point or plan to any thing, and no matter what you do in life, it leads to no great effect or end, and matters nothing at all, in the end.

You can also have absolutely no belief in higher powers, an afterlife, karma or anything of the sort, and feel that you owe it to the rest of your species to not go around being a feth-wit, and doing your best to leave the world and society in better shape than you found it, simply because it's the best thing to do for humanity as a whole.

I made dat up. Thank you for the comment.

**King Pariah**

Nihilism pretty much equates everything = pointless, worthless, purposeless, nothing. Hence Gods are brought down to the same level of man, which is on the same level as dirt, which is on the same level as a single photon, etc. In other words, the gods are just as worthless, pointless, as us. They are nothing just like us. Bring a god down to your level or the level of nothingness and purposeless, it's no longer a "god."

**Psienesis**

This is... not really the place for that kind of discussion, though there are real-world historical examples of advanced civilizations having gods and such, but everything mankind did being utterly meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Sumeria, for one,

**Urien_Rakarth**

Thought you meant Cegorash lol
