I think that chaos is a category of evil or badness or not0usness that is contered by some spells among som eof the Malkioni orders. It is not a general for of Malkion, per se. But he does resist it.

Wakboth is "The Enemy." Interpreting its influence is subjective in this circumstance, and certainly dragons are unfriendly cvreates in the Gloranthan West.

>Actually, does one encounter dragons in the Adept/Saint planes?
No, not as native entities. There are of course some there as Invaders and so on.
