So what? One doesn't have to be chaotic to be bad.

Malia isn't chaotic as has been pointed out to you before and could you think a wee bit more about my example of the Telmori? Is Telmor a chaos deity? If so what does that say about the Kingdom of Sartar's worship of Telmor?

Merely thinking that something is so does not make it so. If you know something is wrong then say so. If it is your understanding that something is the case then a contrary understanding is by no means wrong. Simply writing "I think" or "it seems" when you are intending a refutation is weak writing.

As to the question of whether Storm Bullies pick them up, my answer is that if the Krarshtkids have been in and around the Foulblood woods then the answer is yes. If they have never been there, which is unusual but not impossible, then the answer is no.

Well, the cosmos was rather weakened at the point. But if it was Krarsht's bite that caused the chaos, how is it that her krarshtkids' bite don't have the same effect.
