Namaste:

Great thread. As was mentioned earlier, there are several Eastern Sorcerous traditions that are affiliated with Chaos, the Underworld and the Antigods. Note however, that not all Antigods are Chaotic - the duality of Cosmos and Chaos isn't quite as important as Enlightenment and Ignorance.

YGWV, but here are some things I've discovered: Atyar, the Horned Skull and Stealer of Knowledge, is followed by many sorcerers throughout the East.

In Teshnos, there is a "competition" as it were, amongst unsavory cultists to claim that they have mastered the Sixth Fiery Form, which is almost invariable some type of Chaos. Sorcerers there follow Thanatar and Sekever through delving into their blasphemous texts.

In Kralorela/Ignorance, the so called "Gang of Four" (Shadow Cancer, Earth Eater, Hidden Waters, Star Permutator) are malign chaotic essences that can imbalance one's chi.

And there are a plethora of Antigods in Vithela that practice sorcery.  Martalak the "Noble Wrong" Sorceror is considered the originator of all sorcery, and might be the Vithelans name for Malkion/Zzabur. Ezran, father of Wickedness seems to be clearer a Chaos Sorceror. Adlanari, the Black Mirror of Nightmares, might also have a Grimoire.
