I 'spose. I rather prefer an explanation "in the style of" the account of "defiant entities" -- much as a revile the HW rules for same. That is, each can be seen as partaking of/being a face upon/as being an aspect of a higher cosmic power, however you want to define it.
However in a way this is just shoving the problem around. It's not necessarily entirely straightforward to render said _cosmic powers_ as a neat, fixed, finite set of discrete entities, as witnessed by the fact that each Gloranthan cultural account of these, and indeed each successive "game rule construct" version differs to some degree.
