I'm a little confused about the gods and time. The gods are outside of
time, and do not understand time. Yet, they must understand sequencing, for
example Orlanth had to kill Yelm before the Lightbringer's Quest.
Understanding a sequence implies that they must understand time as well
since Yelm was slain *before* the Lightbringer's Quest. So, it would seem
that the gods must have some idea of "has happened, is happening, will
happen." Further, in Wyrm's Footprints, in the Temple of the Wooden Sword
story, the Humakti divination when one of their number is going to give
birth. As far as not understanding time, if the gods understand some form
of past/present/future, why haven't one of their worshippers been able to
explain it yet? It seems like the gods must have some understanding of at
least past/present/future based on what I've read, or am I missing something?
