I think that it's a little more complicated than that. For example, Eiritha was the daughter of Ernalda in RQ. Is she still? When both were gods, this wasn't an issue, but now we--the people playing the game, not the characters--have a framework that includes a demarcation of deity and spirit (clouded by defiant cults and misapplied worship, but still).

Totally agree.
