Eris is the goddess of chaos.[1] Coolie described Eris as one of the "big ones" who are often sponsored during the Twelfth Floor Celestial Ascendency.[2]

Scavenger's Daughter Effect: One current god effect will be permanent! [3]

AI Description

Goddess of Chaos Eris. Level 250.

This deity has lost her sponsor and can no longer be sponsored this season.

This deity is invulnerable on this floor.

This deity has been summoned by battlefield conditions. Summoning rules apply.

Eris. Goddess of Chaos. Half-sister of Taranis, mother to nobody, lover of parties, drinking, chaos—of course, and generally known as the Ascendency’s worst, most unapologetic gossip. If she were mortal and human, she’d be called a wine aunt. She’d have a rich, dead husband who died under mysterious circumstances. She would split her time between the hair salon and spending her days on the local community Facebook page where she would be constantly creating utter pandemonium with her posts and her “this is just my opinion, but...” style messages.

All of her nieces and nephews love her. In fact, everybody loves her, even though they all know deep down she’s an utter piece of shit. People can get away with that sort of thing when they’re attractive and throw great parties.

There hasn’t been a single season of Faction Wars since the beginning where she wasn’t sponsored by someone. As such, this is a pretty unique situation right now where her true personality, her true purpose can finally shine through.

One of her abilities is being All Knowing. She knows everybody’s business, which makes her a dangerous foe and an even more dangerous friend. If she gives you information, it’s probably true, and it’s probably something that’s going to get you into trouble for knowing. While she’s able to lie, she rarely does. Why bother when the truth is often so much worse?

Eris is a prime contender for the Ascendent Throne.[3]

Appearance

It was Eris, goddess of chaos, re-sized to about my height, standing right next to me. She was not under control of the War Mages. Tall, elf-like with a strangely long neck. Upon closer examination, I saw she wasn’t fully elf. She had a few serpentine features, making her appear like she had a distant relative who was a naga. She had long, smooth blonde hair. She wore armor underneath a flowing, black and white striped jacket that went all the way to the ground. The glowing, Valkyrie armor underneath was covered with swirl patterns, but in the center of her chest was her symbol. Two back to back C shapes with a flaming lance through it. Her large, over-inflated lips were covered with a spiral tattoo. The deity shook her head and laughed. Her tongue was forked. [3]

Story

Book 1

As part of the Krakaren Clone (Second Floor) description, the AI says that “Even Eris, Goddess of Chaos, doesn’t want anything to do with these crazy assholes.” [1]

Book 3

In the 19th Edition of the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (Item), crawler Coolie mentions how Eris and Apito are always a sponsored god for a rich Syndicate citizen to play the Celestial Ascendency. [2]

Book 4

Samantha notes that after Emberus took vengeance on a man who extinguished a torch with urine by waking up a volcano and covering the world in lava, "even Eris was pissed at him."[4]

Story

Book 7

  • As part of the Varg Vikernes Achievement, Carl learns that Eris has marked him as a friend of the church. [5]
  • When the ball falls apart, and Donut casts her War Crimes Spell, Carl comes into range of Eris and her effect of having one god effect become permanent appears. It shows up as a spinning wheel where all current effects are shown. At the time of her meeting Carl, he has two effects, one from Harpocrates (the Pied Piper Spell) and Meatus (Your dick will fall off if you get an erection). The spinner almost lands on the one from Meatus, but ticks over to the Pied Piper Spell[3]
  • Eris tells Carl three things: that he's married, that the War Mage Rebellion traded the Gate of the Feral Gods to Paca at the Midnight Market, and that Britney picked up an axe and is possessed. [6]
