Incidentally, where do you find these things?

This just came to my head while reading this thread
According to Elven lore, the Old Gods "evil/bad gods" were tricked and sealed in the underworld "Black city" and the Good Gods were tricked and were sealed in the heavens "Golden city" by Fen'Heral to stop a war between the two factions and save the people of Thedas.
Dumat called out to the Tevinter mages and offered "Golden city" but lied and sent them to the "Black city" (Legacy gives evidence for this) thus releasing the Old Gods from the "Black city" and unleashing the darkspawn upon the world, meanwhile, the Good Gods are still trapped in the "Golden city".
Fen'Heral, who is possibly Flemeth, sees the Old Gods escape their prison and helps create the Grey Wardens, to save the people. This is what Fen'Heral was trying to do in the first place by sealing the gods away and stopping their war.
The Good Gods, like the Old Gods, call out from the heavens to mortals to do their biddings, thus we have Andraste (prophet of the Maker). The Good Gods wanted justice for what the mages did to the world, releasing the Old Gods, so they created or guided Andraste to create the Chantry and subjugate the mages and protect them from the Old Gods "callings"(mages are more vulnerable to the "callings" for the same reason they are vulnerable to demons and such).
You could say, but why would the Good Gods tell Andraste to tell the world that the darkspawn are a punishment for trying to reach the "Golden city"? They want people to think there are no other gods but them so they give themselves one entity, the Maker, and denounce the darkspawn as just punishment for reaching the "Golden city". The people wont believe there are any gods but the Maker, thus the people only worship the Maker (the Good Gods).
Note: in real life most gods created people to worship them so it makes sense if the Good Gods want to convince the people of Thedas that they are the only gods so they get all the worship for themselves, and the Old Gods get no one.
