Lord of Chaos (concept)
From A Wheel of Time Wiki
Not much is known about the "Lord of Chaos", despite being the title of the sixth book in Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series. Some think that it may be another name for the Dark One, but it is unlikely [citation needed] . It seems more likely that the "Lord of Chaos" is an appellation referring to Rand al'Thor and his Ta'veren influence [citation needed] . A command given to the Forsaken Demandred by the Dark One, "let the Lord of Chaos rule" suggests that it may only be a phrase directing the Forsaken, notably to spread disorder and distrust.
[edit] Other mentions of "Lord of Chaos"
The "Lord of Chaos" is mentioned in a children's game from the Fourth Age. It is represented in its entirety at the beginning of Lord of Chaos and seems to be the first time this phrase is mentioned in the series.
The lions sing and the hills take flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
Let the Lord of Chaos rule.
—chant from a children's game
heard in Great Arvalon,
the Fourth Age[1]
