Malkis

__NOTOC__
:"Order and predictability breeds complacency, complacency creates weakness. Chaos culls the weak and gives rise to the great. Only by facing unpredictable challenges can people rise above the rest. Turbulent waters create the strongest swimmers."
==Description==
Malkis is the God of Chaos and Change and alleged creator of Humanity, gifting them with free will and mutability to best all around them. 
==Belief System==
Followers of Malkis have been shown to not have leaders among their community, seeing the greatest among them as a guide or at best a representation of conduct upon which to follow. They have been shown to force beliefs on other people by destabilizing the country of Eridon through the assassination of its Noble leaders in hopes that through the adversity someone stronger will take the reigns.
It is the job of Clerics of Malkis to protect humans and see to their advancement. Humans are the most adaptable of all races, so their advancement is often best achieved by stirring the pot and keeping people on their toes. Other less adaptable creatures will struggle while humans will find a way to overcome.
==History==
Malkis has been shown to be like the irresponsible member of the Family of Gods, breaking promises to his sister Voraci by placing Humanity in a valley that they hadn't belonged in, acting as a bumbling oaf with groupies at his beck and call, murdering a random civilian just to see what one of his creations might do and gifting a powerful spear without the person earning it. He has been shown to willingly alter his creations, offering to replace eyes in exchange for an act of murder.
Malkis seems to hate his brother and opposite Astair.
During the War of Creation, according to legend, Malkis & Voraci together killed the Winter Gods. The accuracy of this legend is unknown.
In 1509 Malkis sets in motion a plan to destabilize Eridon after sneaking into the Third Material Plane through the Shadow Plane. Malkis took the guise of several people, including the wizard Venlen, to sow discord and to act against those who displeased him. Malkis's followers, the Architects of Faith, began to assassinating the nobility of Eridon, eventually roping in a Wizard from Solum after he recovered the Amulet of Malkis from its place of hiding. The plan results in a lot of political upheaval in Eridon, but no lasting change except different nobles in charge of the towns. Malkis's absence from the celestial plane is eventually discovered by the other gods and by Spring 1511 Malkis is back in his position in the sky.
It is suspected that Malkis assisted the Demons gain access to the Shadow Plane of the Third Material Plane. The red sigil of Malkis was seen at the Heatstroke Pyramid in the Shadow Plane, creating the only color in the area, and summoned non-shadow monsters to fight interlopers. In the Demon World itself, sigils of Malkis can be seen on the road leading to the portal that lead to the Pyramid.
