Neatly Ordered Gods

The Gods, being omniscient and omnipresent, or at least near enough that it makes little difference, had naturally gotten everything sorted out orderly.

There were four lands, and four pantheons. Each pantheon had sixteen gods and/or goddesses, with almost all aspects of life neatly divisible. You lived in the Eastern lands, and needed rain? Golina, the weather Goddess. Northern land, curse a cheater, invoke Hoptom to strike him down.

Everything was neatly divided up. Which puzzled the more wise and elder theologians. Everything was so ordered, but there was no god for Chaos.

They didn’t realise that was humanity’s role.
