I agree with this take. It looks like parallel for being born in a rich nation with parents who care, VS someone born in a poor nation with parents who abandoned them. Dwarves had good land and plenty of God's who looked out for them, the goblins were born in a poor place with their creator just abandoning them. Note that more than one God supports the dwarves, not just their creator. So it doesn't absolve the non Fenrir gods. They could have looked out for anothers creations just like they do for the dwarves. It would have been free worshipping, an untapped share of the market!

Why didn't they do that?

Either non-interference clauses or given how many billions of worlds there likely have been, it's possible they just seem to lack the numbers to keep up to do so.

Really helpful, Thor

And I definitely love Durkon directly calling him out on the systemic inequity. Yeah sure, any race can succeed, but the ones with the pre-existing advantages generally do. And the gods did nothing to prevent that, and are still doing nothing.

Probably because they didn't know what would happen and by now that they can, it's gonna be very difficult to do something. The gods are not one homogenous blob, but a wide and diverse faction, like mortals, and even mroe convoluted because they cannot stray from their core nature as we saw with Loki.

Though also, it is ultimately the mortals who have to stop the killing and be the ones who get along with the mortals and so on. Gods have try to instruct and motivate them, but mortals have ultimately listen and make the decisions.
