I can't imagine there'd be any dearth of material.
FWIW, I'd see the Usual Suspects consigned to short-form keyword-dom, with perhaps more extensive treatment for Vivamort (he's a bit more complicated than the others). The "other" Chaos gods of TotRM & BoDR:C fame could easily be fleshed out.
And I guess that the various Chaos Plots of the Hero Wars period could get a mention (possibly as Chaotic "Hero" Bands and their vile and twisted motivations) ...
But anyway, I think this material is easier to write than another book because there's no coherent cultural info necessary.
Like (the excellent) HQV, it would be more a compendium of generally unconnected materials and articles. A chaotic compendium.
Easy.

PS : As a tangent, I _like_ the presentation of the Gagarthi on p. 237 of HQ : _very_ handy to have a leader and a cult on a single page !
PPS I'm aware that Greg wanted to de-emphasise Chaos in Glorantha, because the main conflicts of the HW have little to do with Chaos.
IMO, the de-emphasising has been successful, and it's time for the tentacled ones to re-emerge from their hiding places ...
