Goddess of Chaos and Flux
Kaleida, the Goddess of Chaos and Flux, is a powerful figure in the pantheon of Gods. Her worshipers are few but deeply devoted, embracing the chaotic nature of the universe and seeing beauty in the constant state of change and entropy. As a sibling of Ravarden, the God of War and Destruction, Kaleida embodies the ever-shifting balance between creation and destruction.
The Eternal Search for the Flux Stone:
Kaleida is driven by an eternal quest for the mythical Flux Stone. This legendary artifact is said to hold unimaginable power, capable of reshaping reality and potentially tearing down even the Gods themselves, including her brother Ravarden. The search for the Flux Stone has consumed Kaleida for eons. The Gods have blinded her to its true location.
Cyclical Nature and Creation:
In the eyes of her followers, Kaleida represents the cyclical nature of existence. Before the universe, there was chaos, and after the universe is gone, there will be chaos. They believe that from the beauty of disorder, new forms and creations emerge. This perspective leads them to see chaos as an essential and creative force rather than merely a destructive one.
Male, Female, and Androgynous Avatars:
Kaleida's manifestations are diverse and fluid. While she is most often depicted as female, she is not bound by gender and can take on male or androgynous avatars as well. This representation reflects the fluidity of chaos itself and highlights her dynamic and ever-changing nature. Many of her followers do not have a fixed gender or do not identify with any particular one. Some have even chosen to change genders through magical or divine means.
Chaos Storms:
Kaleida's presence is believed to manifest in powerful and unpredictable chaos storms on the world of Hoem. These storms bring tumultuous weather, bizarre phenomena, and dangerous consequences for the ill-prepared. They are rare on land, but common in the seas around Stone Island. The storms are seen as direct manifestation of the Goddess into the mortal realm.
The Cult of Chaos:
The worshipers of Kaleida, known as the Cult of Chaos, are a secretive and introspective group. They find solace and purpose in embracing the unpredictable and transformative nature of the universe. The cult's rituals often involve chaotic dances, imbibing psychoactive drugs, meditations on entropy, and contemplation of the ever-changing patterns in nature and life.
