Balance

**Balance** is the volume that goes into the nature of entropy and Khaos within the terms of this reality and the power cultivated and formed out of Khaos by the beings of Terra Earth. It also goes into the patterns that Khaos births, aka the Ms and their philosophy.

## Khaos

The nature of Khaos is a rather paradoxical one. It is everything and nothing at the same time. Order and Destruction. Light and dark. It is shapeless in nature. Though it does not carry the same morality as we have come to see it. It actually seems believes itself to be higher than morality. In a way this is true as it is just a force of the universe and we are the one to assign it morality.

However we are able to denote that it naturally gravitates towards complex systems and chaotic elements. One such element is simply life as we know it. It hates nothingness as nothingness is devoid of chaos.

In the scientific sense it is both a wave and a particle. However whatever way you look at it has a consciousness but it rarely shows this or it is hard to commune with its consciousness. It is best seen as a force or a consciousness that flows throughout throughout the cosmos. The force itself has specific side effects to biological life. It has been seen to accelerate evolution and increase sudden and erratic mutations, especially in areas where it is highly concentrated.

## Entropy and Structure

The beings of Terra Earth developed a mutation that allows them to harness the entropic nature of Khaos and give it form or order. These structures are the forms in which the beings of Terra Earth can use to subvert their will upon reality and cause effects that would otherwise be deem impossible. Some of these forms include:

**Quintessence**: Also known as essence, is Is the form of Khaos that allows control over the khaos within oneself or mana crystals

**Qui**: Is the form of Khaos that allows control of khaos within natural elements and is related to healing

**The First Tongue**: Is the form that is closest to Khaos' natural state. These sigils are the first form created on terra earth way before the scattering and the empire.

## The Ms

Wherever Khaos persides there is always two manifestations that form from it. These are known as the Ms or Merlin and Morgana in the case of Terra Earth. They go by many names but they represent the two sides of Khaos, Order and Freedom.

### Merlin: Order

In Merlin's philosophy there is no room for grey area in its morality which is guided by strict rules and guidelines that leaves no space for other ways that deviates from its guidelines. Merlin strains the importance on the Whole and not the individual however over time Merlin has learned to see the individual to study its effects on the whole to make sure it does not disrupt the Whole.

In a world pictured by Merlin an individual's duty is to act on the Whole and stop any who would disrupt the order established. Any personal views and feelings are often disregarded and even discouraged in a manner, in order to preserve the health and bond of the group. Merlin does stick up for the minority and feels that it deserves fairness as much as everyone else.

Merlin's ideology is also called the Ivory Tower. On the surface, one sees strength, fortitude, elegance, and purity. Underneath, however, these qualities represent an inherent rigidity. There is little room for change, there is little flexibility, only the iron dictum of the initial design. To those inside the tower, this is as it should be. To those on the outside of the tower, this tower often stinks of fascism, a lack of individuality, and oppressionedfr3=393f His ideology of order can become too extreme. It often leads to oppressive control and sw2G7jslap [Redacted].

IT IS THE ONLY WAY

### Morgana: Freedom

In Morgana's philosophy life is grey and complex. Any attempts to cut its complexity is an insult on the chaotic nature of life and will prevent beings from achieving what they were meant to become. Her way is that of freedom and of never ending change. Her way is of the branches of Kabbala. Where Merlin is the stump, Morgana is the branches, spreading and stretching in all directions.

In a world shaped by Morgana teaches indulgence, undefiled wisdom, acceptance of change and to the all differences, responsibility to the responsible, and an eye for an eye code of ethics, while shunning abstinence based on guilt, suppression of the different, pacifism, and herd mentality. Her teachings are no necessarily based on her morality but in response to Merlin's strict code that repressed basic human nature. She did not shy away from the idea that war was a natural part of life and by striving away from it or repressing negative emotions you are not in touch with all of your potential. Essentially depriving yourself of a part of who you are. Despite not having a clear set of morality Morgana did center on the idea of enjoyment of physical existence, and undiluted naturalism that sees mankind as animals that exist in an amoral universe.

She believed in the individual and in the non-conforming. She rejected what she called the "colorless existence" that mainstream society sought to impose on those living within it. She believes that hate and aggression were not wrong or undesirable emotions but that they were necessary and advantageous for survival. Especially for those who are oppressed. Accordingly, she praised the seven deadly sins as virtues which were beneficial for the individual and to it's survival. In turn she loathed suppression of basic natural instincts.

However her way can be seen as chaotic and violent. Some of its followers simply want to destroy the status quo while others take her ideology as a means to take pleasure in evil acts. Morgana does not care for morality so as long as people stay in touch with their emotions and personal truth that is all she cares for. In turn many extreme followers of her doctrine go on to commit evil acts.vb2o4r3gcve

THIS IS NOT THE WAY
