But, Will, that never happened. Sure, the belief that they did this
gives their priests magical power, but actually they're unrelated gods
whose mythology was stitched together by God Learners. None of those

friendly to them in "real life".
Excuse me, I have to go wash this bad taste out of my mouth now.
More seriously, the Holy Twins are a very local religion and wouldn't
be worshipped by smiths outside of a very small volcanic region of
Kethaela.
