No Everi introduces him as the God of War and death.. not sure but maybe also of plague and famine... he is pretty much an accumilation of natural disasters or what humanity considers bad.True, Nergal from IRL myth is a war God but there has been no mention of him being so in PQ. Until Tink says there is another or that Nergal is the war god, I will only refer to them as the "Lord of The Underworld". Pagan gods are public domain so Tink can separate or merge them as he sees fit really. Anyway Lord of War was just an idea lol. In the same manner as there is a separate Lord of Death in this world so I wouldn't put too much stock in the myths, Tink can tweak, & has Tweaked, whatever he likes to make it fit his setting.
Quetesh is the Goddes of Love, fertility (both in regards to the land and the female) and pleasure.
Again In MOST fantasy lores, Orcs have shamanism which is similiar to the Goblins from PQ but more magic based as they can actually manipulate the elements instead of just being some kind of alchemist.Orcs are the only race Tolkin created that did not get any actual culture built to them. It has been others who have created there culture later on. Why cant the PQ Orcs worship a war god. I mean they do in D&D & they worship a war daedra in Elder Scrolls.
Tolkin wasn't giving the "Evil" races much insight as far as I can tell, but there are plenty of other universes and lores that focus around them being connected to the spirits of their ancestors and the elemental spirits of nature
