Yes, but I was talking about the Myth. If in the Great Darkness some humans became ogres eating human flesh, that act could have some chaotic sense after the Dawn. Not always, I think. But in some circunstances, perhaps it could be a kind of 'ritual' or reenactement  to the myth, specially (or only) if the individual/his society knows the myth.

An Orlanthi belief, but if a heortling, for strange reasons, sacrifices to Orlanth, IMO this is a chaotic act.

Thank you for understanding my 'spanglish', in spanish we use the same word 'violación' for 'violation' and 'rape'. ;-)  

> Well, the Malkioni do equate the worse sins with chaos AFAIK.

antrophofagy?

Probably, all the worse malkioni sins are 'chaotic' and 'unnatural' for them. But probably different cultures have other 'worse sins'.

For example, homosexuality could be an unnatural aberration for malkioni (I know malkioni are not the same that medieval Christians, but the comparation may help), but in other places it could be different. In the first case, the act may cause a conmotion in malkioni universe that attracts Chaos. In the RW, in ancient Egypt the enemies were 'demonized' and identified with the Chaos serpent, Apep, they were supposed to destroy the entire order of the universe.

But I don't know. I know nothing about chaotic acts, and I think that learning about is good for my play. For example, I don't know if torture is chaotic. God of torture is listed in the Prosopopedia as a chaotic god, but I suppose there are a lot of torture in a lot of nonchaotic  societies. If my heortlings PC's try to torture a prisioner ¿is this chaotic?

Regards, and thank you for the clarifications,

Antonio
