You have made an incorrect assumption based on incompelte data available so
far.
Tatius needs to neutralize the great deities of the area to substitute his
own.

Yes.

Yes.
Just consider that the issue is REALLY "Orlanth and Ernalda are dead."
That was the objective of Tatius' task.
He wasn't tyring ot kill Orlanth forever. He just needed to neutralize them
toget the temple built.

First, allow me to remind you of the famous French King's statement, "They
are just crossbowmen, Charge!"

Do what you want. YGMV.
As far I have learned, as Tatius is concerned, "They are just Provincials."
