“I’m the god of chaos.” Fire, the forge, and all three stones from the sky.
Agenda: “My plan is to have no plan.”
Story
Svarog let chaos choose his place. He struck the continent with something from the sky (First Meteor), dropped a second on the dwarves as they entered the First Fortress (Second Meteor), and let chaos choose where the third would fall (Third Meteor). He made fire-folk and raiders. He also founded a good human order, the Flaming Fist, and no one knows why. In the Third Age he took Glaive Port down every dark road: cannibalism, famine, plague, the Mycomancers. Delighted by the chaos of the Shattering and annoyed not to understand it, he founded the Mages’ Guild.
