Chaos and Law (2)

Death is a token of Law's love for living things.

...

Law is the first Autocthon. In the scriptures of Yeredwan, Law emerges from the bloated womb of Chaos into the starless, sterile expanse that would become the Multiverse.

The Lords of Change are Her other offspring, and they are many. Yeredwan credits the existence of no less a number than nine-hundred-ninety-nine, though others have come to different god-countings. The matter is disputed among the wise. All solutions to the question are complicated by the endless copulating that occurs among the nobility of Change, who generate with great fecundity. In some cases these progeny merge with their forebears or produce many children of their own. .

...

Law is sometimes characterized as a unity of doctrine, a thinking power at one with its thoughts. Only reluctantly does it divide this placid consciousness into lesser outgrowths, who are called the Lords of Hegemony.

...

Because all matter is contaminated with Chaos, there is some of it in the composition of all things. Matter was an invention of Law, wrought during the First Aeon from raw Chaos-stuff alloyed with Law's liquid thoughts.
