The Chaos Gods are not bound to the Compromise. The gods agreed to the Compromise to be able to keep Chaos at bay, and as long as they keep to the Compromise, the Chaos Gods have limited possibilities to act in Glorantha.
So they wait for opportunities to sneak past the Compromise. Within Time they have seized the moment on at least two occasions - the Birth of Osentalka/ Nysalor and the apotheosis of the Red Goddess.
