Well, the gods influence overall plotlines quite a bit, but it's also
largely up to the mortals. We Gods sometimes directly cause certain
plotlines to be influenced in certain ways, but many of the Gods are
(intentionally) factionalized. The Goddess of LIght and the God of
Darkness are strong enemies, for instance, and their plots (not
coordinated between each other) against each other (generally acted, by
necessity, through mortal agents, since gods can't directly harm each
other), are an example of how plots develop. In other words, the history
is already there happening. I'm just trying to organize the recording of
it. (history from before modern times (modern times beginning when Achaea
went online) is written by me).
