'''Babel, God of Oblivion''' claims dominion over the realm of Chaos. 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?
== History ==
The first act of Lord [[Sarapis]] at the outset of the [[Chaos Wars]] was to create Lord [[Babel]], Patron of those who seek [[Chaos]]. Caught for aeons in the mysteries of Chaos and Creation, little was heard of Babel on the [[Prime Material Plane]] save for terrible whispers caught by the [[Revolutionaries of Chaos]]. A small [[clans|cult]] headed by visionary '''Flair Ze'Dekiah''', the Revolutionaries zealously sought the return of the ancient god. In the 475th year following the fall of the [[Seleucarian Empire]], the cult succeeded. Rumblings of Chaos disturbed the realms as an enormous seal etched with occult markings was revealed in the bowels of the [[Great Rock]]. By the closing of the year, it was shattered. Showing Himself to mortals for the first time in centuries, Babel emerged from beyond the seal and was immediately set upon by [[Eris]]. Draining Him of His [[Divine essence|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 reclaimed His place as God of Chaos.

Babel wields the [[Flame-Bright Spear]].


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?
== The Cult of Babel ==
Little is known about the mysterious cult that remains devoted to Babel, except perhaps the location of the temple within which they perform their sacred duty.


== Divine Symbols ==
Babel makes claim to the sign of the Twin, the third eye, the iron crown, and the flaming spear.
