Talk:Chaos

From Lexicanum

I just reworded the section "Investigation into the nature of the Chaos gods" to make a bit more sense. The sentences are now more logical (IMHO) but the section still doesn't make sense to me to be honest. It goes on about the nature of Chaos and talks about tzeentch and hope. As I read it, it only tells us it's a god of chaos and based on hope. The reasons given in that section really could apply to any of the gods and doesn't explain why hope is evil... I'm questioning the usefullnes of this section. Or am I just being picky? :) -- JoeneB, 6 July 2006, 11:20 (CEST).

Reworded the Ancient History section to be a little less Imperium-centric. Other races and even human civilisations may object to the suggestion that the figure who routinely has genocides carried out in his name, even before the Heresy, is the focus of all the galaxy's positive emotions.

That said, the impression I've been given is that the Chaos gods do incorporate positive emotions, they just happen to be drowned out by the most intense expression of the emotions represented by that god. Slaanesh is love and joy twisted into lust and the pursuit of pleasure at the expense of all else. Tzeentch is the hope of change for a better world turned into change for change's sake. Khorne represents courage and honour and all the 'positive' emotions of warfare... albeit drowned out by pure bloodlust. While Nurgle can be seen as a manifestation of the determination of life to survive... morphed into the patronage of that form of life most infamous for surviving despite all attempts to wipe it out and generating that sense of defiance in others. No, not the Orks. Draxynnic 02:23, 27 November 2008 (CET)
