Chaos

Ygthakians

Demonym: Noxai

Holy text: The Chao

Those who profess Ygthak are those who agree with THE’s philosophy of chaos; which is to say, the precept that chaos is unpredictability. In order to free themselves from predictability, the followers of THE live only in the moment. Many of those who profess Ygthak are therefore both serene and violent in differing measure, seeking only to be vessels for THE in Nyra.

Phylactery Breakers

Demonym: Phylactery Breaker

Holy text: THE's Dictum

The Phylactery Breakers, afterwards a religious cult, started with a group of 10 beings, created by THE for the purpose of breaking the pact between gods. The purpose of these Noxai was to infiltrate the Temple of Twilodon, disable its protections, and break Borias free of captivity. However, they were prevented from doing this, instead being trapped in a magicite prison beneath the Orderist temple in Talisdeem.

The Shivering of Gemantos

Demonym: Shivering Ones

Holy text: The Chao

The Shivering of Gemantos are a death-cult, having first been witnessed in early Ponderan society, but somehow proliferating into every species on Nyra. These Noxai believe that the corporeal realm is inherently the domain of One. In the physical realm there are consistent processes, universalities, languages, concepts. The Shivering believe that all of these represent Order and that only when one has ascended physicality can they engage in the "Chaotic Dance." The Shivering spread through unknown means, only a few of them having to arrive (or perhaps be born), then acting to kidnap or deceive denizens of the area. These are then offered up as sacrifice, themselves included, in bizarre and horrific rituals with no rhyme or reason. In this, the terror ends, until the Shivering arise once again.

The Shivering are one of the primary destabilizing elements which Orderists have used to convince the states of all the different species to establish Orderist temples. These Noxai have been such a recurring problem for so many societies since Golus Anorus, that the Orderists have established themselves in nearly every major city on the planet. Yet the Shivering Ones continue to recur and do their worst.
