Because the Pelandans are a bunch of do-gooders, who need balancing with bad things?
Despite the asymmetry in Her actions, the Entekosiad does not portray Her has being an enemy or evil goddess.

Daak has no morality at all. "personal morality" could be adhering to a personal code, rather than a socially imposed code. I like the idea of Natha being the Pelandan goddess of autonomy, including suicide.
