I agree with comments claiming she's a Goddess of Order. Warp isn't necessarily Chaos - and its tides are shifting. During the days of the War in Heaven, Order dominated the Warp, and this brought upon a tide of Chaos. Now, when Warp is dominated by Chaos, it is only natural that a tide of Order should arise.

Tau'va should have an arm (aspect) for each of the alien species in the Tau empire.
For the greater good!!!

I think it is fascinating how the Tau is being split along racial and ideological lines over, perhaps, one of the most benevolent Psychic entities to ever exist. To the Ethereals and their faction, this goddess is a huge threat to their personal control; to everybody else, this is like having a literal guardian angel produced purely by the belief in doing the right thing. Emperor protects me, but that sounds like a really good deal!

[mitchjames]

Can you please differentiate between chaos and the warp, chaos originates from the warp but the warp isn’t chaos.

[markbenand]

Thing is though that even if the Tau aren't psychoactive and have a weak warp presence, all consciousness collectively is reflected in the warp. While the psychoactive xenos in the Tau empire gave Tau'va enough power to form and manifest, the Tau still had a hand in shaping her. Regardless of psychoactivity, the Tau's thoughts and ideas project into the warp as clearly and any other race. Psychoactivity just determines how much you can affect the warp directly.

‘David Attenborough narrating 40k Lore’. This is what I always needed in my life.

[jansandman]

this can't be counted as chaos. Obviously if it's a god it's not a chaos god but god of order like the Emperor. In warhammer fantasy Sigmar is not the only god of order.

[Trazynn]

The Tau are secular. This is a deity that arose through the superstitious allies of the Tau. She had human, kroot and vespid features and indeed Tau. She's the faith that other species put in the Tau. The Tau Empire doesn't worship her but a star child enclave does.

[spooky_zen]

I like this god, people forget how powerful goodness is

[jeromeChitty]

Sounds like a God of Order then a God of Chaos.

[JeanLucCaptain]

I am LOCUTUS of Tau'va, Resistance is Futile, from this moment forward you will serve THE GREATER GOOD!

[quintrapnell]

Perhaps some day the Tau goddess will save the Emperor from himself and help humanity defeat chaos.

[trailblazerlazerrazerd]

I'm not sure if you can count this as a chaos goddess. It would be more like a diety that's central to a particular culture like the Eldar with their insane fiery war god Kala Mesha Khaine (or just Khaine). Or the same with the Ork gods Gork & Mork. Not only that the Tau aren't big enough to have or make a major Chaos god like how the Eldar accidentally created Slaanesh. Others like Malice and Vashtorr have more presence.

That being said, I don't doubt that it might be possible for Tau'va to manifest in or from the Warp. However that would be complicated because the Tau don't worship gods they just have their philosophy of the greater good and the pretty thorough indoctrination to obey the Ethereals.

[kimmogensen]

Tau and the greater good, it can’t create a chaos good, it’s just like the Emperor of man religion the opposite of chaos which is Order, a new god in the warp a new god of order alongside the Emperors type not chaos. Orks gods and elder gods are not chaos gods

[ddooodddoo]

Well, there are the rumors that GW is bringing God's of order. And with all the species tge tau welcome it was only a matter of time the tau have small souls but tge other species combined can accumulate and create

[ianstratton]

If you guys are interested, there's a 40k series called the Tau Empire reamagend by a youtuber named Heretical Hatter. He's now doing a reamagening of the Gulf Crusade. The version of the Tau he made are even more badass they've had wars between orks, one of them almost destroyed the coalition the new name for the empire they've encountered humans much earlier before they come into contract with the impreium of man they even fought a chaos empire and so on and so forth. So give it a try you might like it. Oh, and as for the Goddess, let's just say that the Tau won't try to kill their human allies and she'll be more powerful then in cannon you'll have to see the story to find out the rest.

[slimjim]

I'm looking forward to seeing her get developed more, show promise and be labled as a threat against the chaos pantheon and the emperor, and for gw to ditch her faster than ynneade due to the deafening scrams of unwashed neckbeards not being able to handle a new god.

[dexterello]

In my opinion, Tzeentch is simply trolling the Tau.

[lotusanime]

Sounds to me like a goddess of both order and chaos, for the promise of order, or "greater good" (?), you have to leave your sense of self behind, which imo is pretty chaotic^^'

Earth Cast scientist Kabuto.
(We can sense that the 40k writers have watched the great Naruto series :)
