But speaking of Gods, there are qutie a few stories in which Gods are created either from Human wishes or believes and their power rises and falls with the number of people who believe in them and the intensity of their faith.

It'd be ironic if Ankhseram hadn't existed, but Humans in their need to have some higher being control the universe's aspects, through their believes created the deity only to suffer the consequences of it coming into existence.

Such a model could also explain massive power-gaps between individual Gods, since almost forgotten ones could be close to powerless, while widely known and worshipped Gods could be immensly powerful.
