Are Irripi Ontor or Teelo Norri evil and/or destructive forces?
The deities you mention are too chaotic, and too much Chaos lends to
destruction, but Chaos itself isn't good nor bad, it's a force or
energy, completely neutral (like a volcano or nuclear energy).
Another thing is what use you make of Chaos. A gun isn't evil, what can
be evil is the person who uses it.
Balance between Chaos and Law is good, or at least this is what lunars
believe.
What I believe is: Chaos is Entropy. You can have a benign use of it,
but it will irremediably destroy the world if liberated. Chaos isn't
evil, but it is destructive in the long run.
