I wonder what a confrontation in the Outside would look like. I imagine that any one god that moves into the realm of another would be at a disadvantage. 100-way-deadlock.
But what if they were pulled into Earwa, forcing an amout of objectivity to their power. Then what would we have (other than a devastated Earwa).
I find myself constanting falling into the habit of treating Earwa and the Outside as binaries--but isn't there someone in the story that claims there are degrees or spheres? It's weird to think that Yatwer might live in a level that seems like Earwa to her and the even higher levels are what she would consider the mysterious, ineffable 'outside.'
