“Chaos is the ceaseless Wheel. Chaos is unending. It has existed long Before You were created, and shall exist long After You cease to be. To oppose Zeek is to join the mountain of bodies crushed beneath Chaos. To embrace Zeek is to Understand the Truth.”
-Excerpt from The Origins of Chaos

Zeek is the god of Chaos. Worshipers of Zeek believe that the god of Chaos thrives when patterns are broken, routine is disrupted, and there is disarray and confusion abound. While some Zeek worshipers' zealous fervor leaves them seemingly completely mad to the non-devout, most who serve the god of Chaos do so in smaller actions.

Some followers of Zeek embrace the idea that each small action leads to another, and another, eventually leading to significant change, and see each action they take as adding to the Chaos of the world. There are some devout of Zeek intent on disrupting harmony itself, who exert their chaotic potential with more subtle manipulation and treachery to sow disarray. Others see disruption of pattern and habit as the road to change in a positive light, as the act of dropping in on a friend uninvited can create Chaos in their routine and bring a pleasant surprise to their day. Worshippers of Zeek are often looking to make an impact, incite change, bring about the unexpected, and see those affected flourish and grow from new experiences.

Many Zeekists assert that bringing disorder to the orderly can provide a new perspective, and that Chaos is the means to discovery and understanding. There are those devout of Zeek that believe that all things came from Chaos, and despite the efforts of others to force order upon the world, its natural state is Chaos, and Chaos will always prevail over order. Some see attempts to oppose Chaos by asserting order as futile, blinding the misguided from the true nature of the world; they instead embrace the idea that one should take things as they come, and they will benefit from leaning into the Chaos.

Unsurprisingly, there is no organized church or hierarchy of Zeek worshipers. That is not to say that like-minded Zeek worshipers have not come together to discuss and debate their ways of worship, but Zeek worshipers are as diverse as Chaos itself. In the Chaos of recent times Zeek seems to be gaining popularity, particularly among those that may have benefited from the Changes, or those who have an optimistic view in general, looking for the good that has come from mass upheaval. Some have gone so far as to theorize Zeek may be empowered enough to take a Seat at the Table of the Gods if his followers could ever organize their efforts to the task.
