Also, this. The Twelve Gods are worshipped as a pantheon, by everyone, including evil characters like Kubota and Tsukiko.


As for the Oracle situation...no comment.
About the western gods, does the Western Continent started out as Green lush land and turned into desert, except Elves might have stopped its spread and build their own Hadrian Wall. Maybe Elven god might be heroes who stopped the desert blight and revered as gods (and abandoned the Western Continent as their gods).
Note: I used the word "Hadrian Wall" because Elves have roman esque name.
