Definition: As dragons are the creatures of primeval chaos...the true original harbingers of the Wyrm...they are fed in ways alien to most other creatures. For a dragon, creatures half magic, half flesh the embodiment of the need to return ordered patterns to chaos is as much a part of a dragon as blood is to a vampire. Elder, powerful dragons have vast stores of Havoc, the innate ability to reduce order to chaos in large amounts. Expenditure of this vitality results in the dissolution of the representatives of the Weaver. Even the Wyld quails in the face of Havoc, knowing that while it's powers of growth are great, so also are the powers bestowed by the primeval Wyrm.

Dragons may spend Havoc in the same way vampires spend blood, i.e. speed, healing, magic. It is the gathering of Havoc that is the source of concern for most creatures of the world. Towns are razed, herds are slaughtered, forests burn to feed the primeval chaos of Havoc.
