[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7880479, member: 7015476"] Timescale is the only word needed The laws arent unchanging at all The timescales cosmic events come at, their length in scale, is completely random as well. We happen to be in a particularly (and randomly) long period of consistency. Something that eventually would happen in random chaos. Also that actually is at least kinda how things happened. Go back far enough and everything happened randomly in d&d because the oldest gods dont have an eternal readon for having existed or beginning. But thats less chaos by comparison to order and more or less the background tendancy of the primordial universe. Primordial chaos is not really chaos. Its neutrality in which chaos is unopposed but not aparent either because there is nothing to contrast against nor any "forms" to show phenomenological effect on. Therefore technically balanced precisely because there is literally no order yet. This is because the world of forms has not yet created emanations that impose influence on the phenomenological material planes yet. Early on the world of forms influence remains strictly within the world of the nuomenological. If you look at a picture of the great wheel it strongly resembles plato's model if the physical cosmos. Its the visually hidden lore of that era of d&d. Its not written. Its drawn. But what it shows is basically conceptual cannon. Hard ti say just how deep inti the visual illustrations the meaning penetrates but there is a good chance tgis is the true nature of that era of d&d cosmos. It positions chaos as the parent of he other polarizing alignments but not in a philosophically unbalanced way. [/QUOTE]
