Divine Nihilism
Tenets within the Law
Divine Intervention is Ultimately Futile
Futility of the relationship between gods and menThe gods believe that divine intervention in all its forms is both thankless and destructive. Each time they have intervened with humanity's natural course, at best it has proved meaningless—at worst, calamitous for both mortals and themselves. Thus it stands to reason, why interfere at all when it can only further destroy the world?
Human and Divine Nature are Irreconcilable
Futility of gods and men individuallyThe Last Godstorm showed that both the gods and mortals are innately self-destructive and hostile toward their own kinds. Because of this, they are bound to make a living hell of both the mortal and immortal realms, and so any effort to improve the world and/or prevent this inevitability—from either side—is worthless.
The Traitor and the Harbinger
Though most of the gods are guided by this idea, there are a few stark exceptions. Some of the younger minor deities hold more nuanced beliefs, however the sworn agreement within the pantheon compells them to still follow by the two main tenets. While there have been several occassions since the Last Godstorm and Rape of the Imperium on which these tenets have been broken, the majority of instances are attributed to the minor gods of war and strife.
In the current age Ulfur and Xaltra are the main proponents of divine intervention. This is not to say that they do, in practice, interfere with the course of humankind; it only means that, in theory, they may be willing should the right circumstances arise.
