She did shunt aside godhood in return for a greater freedom to act, and some of those interests would be of necessity opposing of what the gods do/don't do.  Verra has already shown that she's fallible and can be surprised, more than once.  It is entirely possible that Verra and Sethra could be working at cross purposes at some time.   Verra may have grand designs upon her little easterner that Sethra is tweaking to fit her own needs. 


Good point.   It all depends on how Steve decides to play destiny.   I suspect that the higher the being, the more destiny controls them.
