 Absolutely. I agree that Chaos has invaded parts of the Theistic, Animist and Sorcerous otherworlds. I don't think there is much use in adding an accessible "Realm of Chaos" to these. >>

     I'm told there is a Realm of Chaos (it cropped up while I was writing the 'otherworld' section of AR), but whether or not it is readily accessible, I have no idea. I'm inclined to suspect that anything physical that went there would be dissolved into gorp in the twinkling of an eye, and anything discorporate would suffer an equivalent fate. Stuff comes out of it (so I gather), but it probably only takes on form or mentality as part of the act of leaving, IMO. Or not, in the case of Kajabor...
