What prevents different aligned divine factions from exterminating

Killing gods is hard as shit, yo.

Not for a god!

Maybe all-out war would destroy a chunk of their realms, so the gods turn to less violent solutions.
Good gods try to live in harmony with the Evil gods while Evil gods look for more subtle, non-zero-sum ways to wipe out the Good gods.

Often has something to do with allegiances forged. For example, look at the Nordic Pantheon. Loki was known to be a chaotic cunt and a shit disturber but he was Odins Blood Brother so he was left alone.

Yeah, I'm just going to keep worshipping portals like the old days, what's the worst that could happen?

>>44107741
Player Characters, usually.

And DMs.

What prevents different alignment mortal factions from exterminating others? Say have Good humans slay all Evil orcs?

Evil gods are team players are generally destructive and ferocious. Sure, the good gods have Accord, the Harbinger of Justice, the Lord of Battles and maybe Fortune, the goddess of Heroes, and their divine hosts. But the evil gods have the Lord of Murder, the Mother of Monsters, Prince of Lies, the Ravager and Eater of Souls. They know they'll get beat to shit because they are weaker and have less mortal followers, so they act together like a big, dysfunctional family to keep the good gods off their back.

Loki was Odin's son. He wasn't a cunt all the time, anyway, and often helpe Tor and others in his own way. Trickster, sure, but a decent guy until he kickstarted the Ragnarök.

You first. Adopted or not, he was Odin's son.

Forgot to mention this is my own homebrew. It is rumored that if you destroy the towers the barrier goes down. But the towers are well defended and the general public is just weary of another war.

No. We know who his parents are. He is named many times as Loki laufeyson. Laufey being a jotunn who married an aesir and they were his parents. He is a halfbreed but has no relation to Odin

He was Odin's BLOODBOUND BROTHER you filthy pleb. As in they opened up their wrists, mixed their blood and declared themselves to be siblings.
