Ordnat, The Dragon of Niflheim
Ordnat, the second oldest of the Draconis Quartet, finds her home in the realm of Niflheim, amongst the pantheon of The Domain of Chaos. While the quartet's parentage remains unknown to most - knowledge of such being mostly obscure albeit findable in some of The Kingdom of Teitanga's oldest libraries should one care to pour over tomes - the knowledge of the dragons' brethren are well known.
Ordnat is frequently at odds with her eldest brother Li'tariel, The Dragon of Astrival, and finds it amusing to see how Raf'norn, The Prismatic Seneschal and Dizzorn, The Levy of Shadow, her younger siblings, have splintered off in different directions as well.
Followers of Ordnat usually romanticize chaos in frequently dangerous ways, believing any and all law to be a waste and an oppression unless it's under Ordnat's gracious and freeing hand. As such, the followers are not necessarily anarchist to their very core, they simply do not believe in following someone else's law or whim more often than not unless it is their queen's, Ordnat's. As such, these followers find themselves at VERY frequent odds to those who believe in order.
Unfortunately, some impressionable teens find themselves really "attuned" to Ordnat's teachings and frequently use the goddess as a vehicle for their rebellions, citing that "Ordnat is just more free, man."
More uniquely, Ordnat is the Patron Goddess of most Chromatic dragons, where her brother Li'tariel is the Patron God of most Metallic dragons.
One would be hard-pressed to find a chromatic dragon that does not worship Ordnat.
Divine Domains
Chaos, Tyranny, and Destruction are Ordnat's main three domains, which is interesting as most people believe Tyranny to be the evil of Law.
Ordnat believes that no lesser being should be in charge of anyone's life, and only she has right to rule. Destroy and spread chaos until the Empress comes to Aden from Niflheim to take her proper throne, where everything will be done right.
Ordnatian Clerics are primarily Chaos, War, Blood, Moon and Trickery domain.

Divine Symbols & Sigils
Ordnat's symbol is that of a large flame with a dragon's head looking straight towards the viewer rising from it, its head upturned as it roars out with great might; signifying that through the flames wrought by Chaos, Ordnat will rise.
Tenets of Faith
- There is no one fit to rule quite like Ordnat.
- Destruction only makes way for Ordnat and her followers to rebuild the realm anew.
- Those that are weak, those that are downtrodden, they are hardly fit for life.
- You are your own ilk, and no one should have control over your actions until Ordnat is around to oversee all.
Holidays
Ordnat's Revelry - On the 15th of Niflheim's Peak, most unscrupulous kinds and even some rowdy groups of young adults "shed free of their oppression" for one day in particular.
The more "innocent" of celebrators engage in what may be described as similar to a masquerade ball with Aden as its hall; wearing masks both ornate and not and engaging in informal revelries or nights around the town, more often than not causing many mischief in its wake. A lot of Bards take the opportunity to spread their music far and wide, and those who are of less.. moral standing tend to engage in debauchery with reckless abandon.
Thieves, Rogues, and Crooks, however, find themselves taking advantage of such revelries and masquerades, disgusing their crimes as "pranks" of their own. Ordnat's Revelry is frequently a time of great stress and unrest for the law of civilized nations, and all attempts to "ban" such a holiday have only been met with more disorder. Almost as if the increased "oppression" merely spurs on the celebrators more.

While always only one color, her scales change from the wide array of chromatic options, using them as "disguises" and making recording of her appearance quite frustratingly difficult.
