The Order of Chaos

Harmony of Contrast
A race of wizards that focus on paradoxes, each devoting his life to the study of one contrast. For example, fire and ice or light and dark.

The Order collectively worships Willpower and Waste, as these two gods are the source of their Spirit Magic,

They have a genetic mutation that causes them to only give birth to twins: one boy and one girl. These children will grow up together, share the same paradox, and have their children together one day. Somehow this inbreeding doesn't cause genetic mutations of its own.

At birth, the twins are not given names. Instead, they are simply called son and daughter to the parents, and boy and girl to anyone else. To each other, they either give each other pet names or call the other boy/son and girl/daughter. Other unnamed children call them by this naming convention: "Son of (Fathers name)" and "Daughter of (Mothers name)." When the children decide on a paradox, they each take the name of one of the aspects of it. For example: a set of twins takes on the paradox of Fire and Ice. The sister, being the elder of the two, chooses the name Ice, leaving her brother with the name Fire.

Choosing a paradox can be as simple or as complicated as the siblings choose it to be. For some, they were always interested in a particular paradox. For others, they endured some particular hardship because of it. And still others chose it because it was the least hated paradox the two could come up with.

Once the paradox is chosen, the twins perform a ritual (Called "Spirit Binding"), which differs depending on the paradox chosen. Each sibling takes a representation of the other's new namesake and outlines a small magic circle. The other then steps into the magic circle, and the two each make a small cut into their hands, and clasp the hand of his/her twin. This not only seals the bond between the two, but also serves as their marriage contract. It also allows them a significant amount of control over their namesake, which is called their Spirit Magic.

The Order believes in a Spirit World that contrasts with the Physical World. They believe that each person has a Spiritual Body as well as their Physical one, and that they are able to commune with one another.

Serlen
The Order uses a form of writing they call Serlen. Each word is wrapped around a circle, with the letters jutting in and/or out of this circle. It is read starting at the top, and working clockwise.
