Yep, but I'm not relying on it either in this discussion.

Hmm, so Krarsht isn't, Malia isn't. What about Thed? Vivamort? Bagog? Are there any chaos gods?

I think we're drifting back to the core/GaG discussion. So this is my last post on this matter. My reading of this discussion is that the majority opinion here is that Krarsht is chaotic. The published material for HW/HQ says so. If the Mongoose stuff says so too, then that is what I will go by unless Greg says otherwise or until something like Thunder Rebels/Storm Tribe appears for the so called "chaos" gods in HQ and says she isn't.

Until then all krarshtkids would register on the sense chaos (Storm Tribe p.162) of Uroxi in any campaign I run.
