"Wizardly people" stand for Danmalastan residents from the same generation as Ehilm or Worlath (who the foolish Theists insist on mis-calling gods) or Horal or Zzabur. These people *were* massively powerful symbols, and had as many stories told about their exploration of the world and the Superior Planes as those silly theists have of their "gods" (ha, ha, ha, <insert favorite Stupid Theist joke here>), plus others that weren't stolen (examples omitted, so that they won't be stolen).
Admittedly, one never stands in for the TRUE Invisible God, of whom Malkion the Lawgiver is but a pale imitation, but then how many Orlanthi heroquesters stand in for Orlanth The Great God?
Or, at least, so say the Westerners.
