I’m really liking the cosmology at work here. Legend says that angels came from primordial order and demons came from primordial chaos, but neither is pure order or chaos anymore. We’ve met a lot of good angels and evil demons, but they can vary as individuals, just as humans can. (In particular, the demons we see who were raised outside of demon society are horrified by the more violent aspects of demon culture.) 

Then we’ve got the other representatives of chaos. No one actually knows whether they’re one or more entities that somehow exist outside the ordered universe, or the embodied will of the entire disordered space. Either way, they come from a place where all matter is randomly intermingled to the point of being indistinguishable. Their response to our world, where matter is separated into distinct objects, is to destroy everything in sight. Some powerful demons can summon them and pick a target, but looking at them can cause madness even in the demon who summoned them.

This invites a question that has so far gone unanswered: if Lovecraftian horror is the purest chaos, then is there a purest order?
