The first act of Lord Sarapis at the outset of the Chaos Wars was to create Lord Babel, Patron of those who seek Chaos. He is rumoured to represent the duality of Chaos found in the initial manifestations of Entropy and Discord within the realm before the ascension of Eris. Little was heard of Babel, Who had been absent for eons, though the Revolutionaries of Chaos, a small cult headed by Flair Ze'Dekiah, sought Him zealously. In the 475th year following the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, rumblings of Chaos disturbed the realms. Beneath the Great Rock, an enormous seal etched with occult markings was revealed, and by the closing of the year, it was shattered. Babel emerged from beyond its confines and was immediately set upon by Eris. Draining Him of His essence, She cast Herself back through time to the emergence of the Unnamable Horror and stepped wholly beyond existence as we know it. Paradoxically, back in the present, Babel, alive and well, reclaimed His place as God of Chaos.
His dominion is Oblivion, the telos of all Chaos within Creation. He teaches that, since the Unnamable broke into Creation, existence itself has spiralled inevitably towards a perfect singularity, where all are one with the primal void. The acceptance of this destined end is accompanied by a refusal to be bound by external morals. Freedom of thought and action are paramount to Him, for why place importance in such ephemeral and impermanent ideals?
