>However, even chaos gods and spirits who may not have participated in the Ritual of the Net became part of the Compromise, such as Thed and Malia, if I recall correctly.
Remember also that Chaos is what was *caught* in the Net. According to the traditional Cults of Terror-era accounts, it was "the Devil" that was caught, but I'm guessing that the Devil could have been accompanied by its entourage of the other, lesser gods of Chaos even if they're not directly mentioned. That seems pretty common in Gloranthan myths.
So that explains how Chaos is bound by the Compromise; it was ensnared in Arachne Solara's web, and devoured/transformed by her into something more predictable and less immediately destructive to the cosmos. So the surviving Chaos gods were present at the Ritual of the Net as well...
