Chaos Day Hard Kh Soft Zar

"Nothing breaks unless it can become something else."

Philosophy

You adapt constantly. Plans are suggestions. Failure is merely another raw material. You thrive when the situation refuses to stay stable.

The Pronunciation Dispute

The Reforgers share the Breakers' hard beginning but soften the conclusion. Destruction is necessary, yes—but destruction *for its own sake* is wasteful. The soft ending acknowledges that breaking is only the first step; what matters is what you build from the pieces. Reforger theology is pragmatic to the point of heresy: they believe the gods made mistakes in creation, and that mortal revision is not just permitted but *expected*.

Tendencies

Failures often create unexpected new opportunities
Flexible goal reassignment mid-action without penalty
Less punishment for abandoning plans that no longer serve

History

The Reforgers began as a Breaker splinter faction that asked an uncomfortable question: what happens after the breaking? Breaker orthodoxy held that this was someone else's problem; the Reforgers disagreed. They developed a theology of continuous transformation—neither the rigid preservation of Order nor the pure destruction of Chaos, but an endless cycle of breaking and remaking. Reforger communities are famously difficult to pin down. They have no permanent structures, no fixed doctrines, no consistent leadership. What they have instead is a remarkable ability to appear wherever change is happening and extract value from the chaos. Critics call them opportunists; Reforgers prefer "adaptive."

Notable Events

The Recycled Crusade

A failed military expedition was transformed mid-campaign into a trading mission, then a diplomatic embassy, then a colonization effort. The Reforgers involved considered all four versions successful, despite achieving none of their original objectives.

The Doctrine of Flexible Truth

A Reforger theologian argued that even sacred texts should be revised when circumstances change. They were not executed—merely assigned to rewrite the faction's core documents, a task that has now continued for six generations without completion.

Scholarly Commentary

"The gods made mistakes. We honor them by fixing those mistakes."

— The Fifth Commentary, author unknown

The Fifth Commentary exists in seventeen versions, none of which agree on which is authoritative. The Reforgers consider this appropriate.

"Reforger texts are endlessly revised, making authoritative editions impossible. Their critics argue this proves intellectual dishonesty; Reforgers counter that refusing revision is the real lie."

— Academic assessment

"The plan changed. The plan always changes. The plan changing *is* the plan."

— Reforger saying
