Entropy

Entropy is a being associated with the Void. The actual meaning of Entropy is a gradual decline into disorder. For that reason, she is closely tied to nihilism, and the concept of idealizing extinction. Entropy historically has had issues with the idea of growth and self improvement. She revels in watching mortals make the same mistakes over and over. Death is agreeable to her, and for this reason, life, and it's progression, seem almost idiotic in the face of her antagonistic pessimism.

Entropy has been known to influence events in the world previously. Specifically the Carpicious Raids, and The War. However, apparently this was far more minor than her current influence, as she was asleep. The fracturing of the Moon was the apparent cause of her waking up and appearing physically in the world of Rathnir with far greater power and influence than before.

How to worship Entropy

 * Death
 * Self destruction
 * Bloodsport
 * Taboo
 * Build shrines
 * Public sacrifices
 * Get creative. Chances are, if it seems ingenuitive and new, it will pleasantly surprised her.

How to combat Entropy

 * Entropy has issue with slumber. Sleep was her prison, and a boring one at that, at least without dreams. Without Nightmares.
 * Nature is often Entropy's enemy. Especially water, which is the opposite of volatile and dangerous fire and lava which excite her. The nether is a welcoming environment to her. Green and shrubbery is a symbol of life and growth which Entropy rejects.
 * Order directly contradicts her defining principles and goals.
 * Mastery of the self. Meditation. Entropy revels in the loss of control, so she can manipulate and have power over others, as well as watch minds spiral into disorder and fanaticism.
 * Entropy may infect people. Corrupt them whether or not they set out to do her will. There is no cure for this. No potion, no magic, no spell, no act that can reverse it. Only a slow and gradual fight against one's own impossible impulses and habits. It is a grueling effort, and is not always successful. Outside support, as well as consistent determination are key. Extreme individuals (meaning they can feel extreme anger, extreme happiness, etc.) interest Entropy and can tend to get infected more often.
 * Some memetic agents are capable to shielding one's mind from Entropy, but they are unable to cure already-corrupted individuals
 * Permanent solutions to combatting Entropy include forcing her back to sleep. This can only be done by eliminating her physical form. While not a permanent solution, Entropy is a god, and a central part of the universe that requires her to stay balanced.

Meta of Entropy
Entropy was originally a metaphor for the server's boredom levels. When the server got bored, Entropy got bored. Currently, she is a device to encourage rp on the Stoneworks server. The use of Entropy is to elevate everyone's gameplay. Entropy is named Entropy, not chaos, not anarchy, not discord, but ENTROPY. That is because other words tend to be used as an excuse to be rude and aggressive to other players. Entropy is meant to be a wild, fickle, and seemingly cruel deity, but out of character, she is never meant to take fun at the expense of other players.
