         The Gods of Dara Happa grew jealous.  There was one among them called
         Lodril. He was the first to quarrel. He ordered his priests 
to destroy the temples
         of Turos in Darleep.

         [...]

         When the priestesses of Bentus came back from Yuthuppa, hurt and
         unpleasant, they screeched for revenge and help against their foes.
         The gods of Pelanda refused, for the foreign lands were not 
their places
         of interest.  Even Natha did not go there.  Jajagappa is all she said.

                 Entekosiad p89

Since the Gods do have opinions that exist outside the political ambitions of their priests, I don't see the need to assume that the Lodrili priests in Darleep were fibbing because they couldn't get along.
