Description
Her whims and aims were fickle, uncertain and her worshipers took to a philosophy of eternal flux to accomodate her ever changing will. When the Hirako took to worshiping her younger brother, Tzeentch, Makala saw the oppurtunity to display the ultimate form of chaos and turned on her own sibling. Tzeentch and his cults were nearly destroyed by the onslaught, an even known as the Shifter's War. Tzeentch convinced his three siblings, Nurgle, Slaanesh, and K'horne, to conspire with him to overthrow their elder sister and together they tore the goddess to pieces.
Iconography
Before her death she was most often portayed as a woman who's head and neck has been replaced by a swirling, sucking void. When she is represented now, it is as one quarter of a woman, usually the left half of the face, half the neck, left breast, left half of the torso and left arm and hand, weeping.

Cult History
Most of Makala's cults died with her, but her name is occasionally invoked as a sign of rebellion by fallen members of other cults. Ironically her aims as the pruveyor of pure chaos have been achieved as the temporary alignment of the four greater chaos gods solidifed the hold of chaotic forced upon the world.
Popular myth states that when Makala was ripped to pieces two large fragments became godlings in their own right. Preserving Makala's anarchic spirit of pure chaos and born out of fragments of her carcass, they became negative instanciations of chaos, rather than positive ones. These fragments are Zuvassin and Nechoco.
