It really depends in how tied a god is to there portfolio. Are the gods just really powerful beings who decided "I'm the god of X" Or is there divinity tied to the portfolio they manage.
Once again why I hate gods. I mean even if the "sudden shift" happened over 500 years some elves live that long what would they do?
