Lords of Chaos and Order

The Lords of Chaos and Lords of Order are complementary groups of supernatural powers that appear in DC Comics. They have also been featured into the histories of several characters, including: Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, Doctor Fate, Kid Eternity, the Phantom Stranger, Shazam, Hawk and Dove and The Sandman. The first Lord of Order to appear in comics was Nabu in "More Fun Comics" #67 (May 1941) created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman. Nabu's first appearance was later retconned to be in "More Fun Comics" #55 (May, 1940), however, the concept of the Lords of Chaos and Order was introduced years later.
The Ongoing Battles between Order and Chaos.
Originally, the lore was that there was an ongoing tension between Good (Order) and Evil (Chaos) within the DC Universe. Later comics depict the tension as a struggle between stagnation (Order) and anarchy (Chaos).
The two opposing sides, Order and Chaos, are mystical energies that typically act within somebody else to pursue their mission. They can take physical form by possessing a living being, as in the case of Nabu or Mordru. These mystical energies can empower humans to act as their agents, as in the case of Terataya (a a Lord of Order) in Hawk, and T'Charr (a Lord of Chaos) in Dove.
Both sides maintain a tenuous balance of power concerning their involvement in outside conflicts. The Lords of Order argue that intervening in this conflict would provoke the Lords of Chaos to retaliate, and potentially escalate the battle.
"Infinite Crisis".
In the "Day of Vengeance", Eclipso seduces the Spectre into slaughtering most of Earth's magic users after she claimed that magic was the source of all of Earth's evil. Nabu organises a team of magical beings to stop the Spectre and seal the Seven Deadly Sins. Nabu confronts the Spectre, and the Presence (a Lord of Chaos) uses Spectre as a new host. Although Nabu dies,his helmet is left with its significant powers. 
The deaths of the Lords of Order and Chaos caused magic to break down into its basic raw state, which marks the end of the Ninth Age of Magic within the DC Universe, and the beginning of the Tenth. Amethyst and Mordru are the only known Lords to have survived into the Tenth Age.

Lords of Order.
Lord of Order is Nabu empowered and possessed various humans through the Helmet of Nabu, through the body of Doctor Fate. Originally, Doctor Fate was depicted as an agent for Order. When the sides transitioned into different values, Fate's role was changed so that he was now a balancing force between Order and Chaos. The god Tynan from Darkworld was also an agent of balance.
