Lore & History
Tz'Areth is perhaps the most insidious of chaos gods because he does not work through open violence or obvious madness. Instead, he erodes trust from within, making mortals doubt one another and question reality itself. His greatest victories are invisible—society undermined not by armies but by rumors, conspiracies, and the slow dissolution of shared truth. His influence spreads like poison through the heart of civilization itself.
