They screw up creating the world ("monsters" and all other things they wanted to destroy but UL wouldn't let them)

Then the plan is for them to split up humanity 7 ways, but Aldur decides he doesn't want to. So... you have a bunch of humans, who were apparently DESIGNED to want a god, at ends, worshiping demons, the stars, and bureaucracies.

The gods live amongst their peoples for ages, and don't bother to uplift them from what is essentially one step above barbarism.

Issa and Nedra seem completely worthless.

And of course, there's Torak. Maybe I just don't get how godhood works, but I sort of assumed the brothers were more-or-less equal in power. You'd think a 6-on-1 fight wouldn't be a big problem.

I mean, yeah, it's because Destiny Said So, but that just means they're Destined to be shitty gods.
