Not quite right - Lunar Theology accepts Chaos as part of "The All" - not
just using it when convenient, but advocating that Chaos has a place in the
world - totally opposed to the Storm view that *all* chaos is bad, and
should be thrown out of Glorantha, if only that were possible. "We are All
Us" specifically includes Chaos, not just different viewpoints or religious
tendencies.

>From the Storm view, the Empire *is* chaotic - to the Stormies, you can't be
"a little bit chaotic", just like you can't be "a little bit pregnant".
