Let me intervene in your discussion and express my own theory, if this is what we are talking about
.
In the game there is a certain ancient race that created LOCO and built a laboratory complex under the temple, and judging by the conversations, it was they who created all the intelligent beings in this world during experiments. Apparently, this race has chosen the path of scientific and technological progress and what if they are our descendants - the descendants of modern people. People have developed to such an extent that they began to experiment with parallel realities (including magical realities) and populated one of the worlds with their genetic descendants (people, elves, giants, orcs, etc.). And at this time, all the gods that are mentioned in the game are actually representatives of that ancient race who achieved the desired immortality. And the entire existing world is only an experimental testing ground for these superbeings, and only Qetesh wanted to break the existing order of things.
