Why they have to associate fire with Asylum?!?!
Yep, I just don't get the idea why they have to associate fire with Asylum. First...chaos magic has not only fire spells but also lightning and other irrelevant elements (i.e. cat reflexes, magic mirror, haste). Then...there is nothing fiery with Asylum apart from the efreety and dragons. Heck...their native terrain is not volcano but SWAMP!?!! What the HELL!?!? Swanps got nothing to do with fire AT ALL!! It's just the necropolis should have swamps, not Asylum and vice versa! I also hate the names of the heroes: Fire diviner...fire guard...sheesh they shound like some badly designed characters from an el cheapo RPG! Ultimately...I hate the symbol of Chaos magic that is a fire...if I were 3do I'll symbolise Chaos magic with either a SPIRAL or an evil EYE. God there is something bad happening with the overall game design!!!

Lith is right about the choice for fire.
As for swamp terrain, swamp can be seen as chaotic; trees and vines and quicksand every which way, an unorderly mass of water and mud, waiting to treacherously swallow the unwary adventurer...
However, the terrains of Necropolis and Asylum could be switched easily.

I'm more worried about Nature though...
Nature should be aligned to every other magic school... and might ...well, maybe not with Order but i'm thinking about that...

It's the Sourcerers. The sourcerers are realy just wizards that fancy Pyro-Technics. That's why there's so much fire in chaos.

isn't it so that the placement of necro corresponds to fire and the placement of asylum corresponds to water in the pentagram?
the alchemists say (it may get a little messy for an ignorant person like me, but it does seem to make sense in some way) that alchemical fire comes from alchemical water because they are the same substance (or something like that).
well, i hope the nwc has some alchemy guru to consult if they mess with elements in that context.
