We are told something of the relationships between these characters and will learn more. No mention of Manse Everard as yet.
I think that imagination is essential to humanity and that gods have been powerful in the collective imagination but do not literally exist. I welcome narratives that give the gods a major but not ultimate role:
"'That is as Weard wills, who sets the doom of gods and men alike." (p. 338)
The Buddha is a teacher of gods and men.

Note that the Germanic Gods are also unaging -- but can be destroyed, and at the "Weird of the World", they will be.
