The Goddess had already manifested Chaos, so *Orlanth* was henceforth personally opposed to her (not "all gods" IMO).
Moon powers don't necessarily need to be chaotic BTW : the Blue Streak isn't, for instance, nor was the prehistoric Green Moon, nor are all of the current Moon's.
You could look at Castle Blue as being the World's Resistance (more than 14 !) against the existence of this new goddess, and in HQ it is a cosmic fact that some one will come to incarnate that Resistance, as a personal Foe. Orlanth is that Foe.

Good idea.
