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 [[clans|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 [[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, alive and well, reclaimed His place as God of Chaos.
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 terible 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.


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?
