It's a lot easier to sell a close OOB call with distinction and clarity without confusion saying "red" rather than "magenta" or "maroon."

Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.

Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
