The Elven pantheon bears some superficial resemblance to our own. They are polytheistic, with named, apparently absent gods associated with different domains of worship.
“The Maker” has every indication of being a human invention marketed to strengthen their domination over every level of society here, and to excuse their subjugation of the other races. They label anything they don’t understand outside that narrow frame of reference a “demon.”
Frankly I think they should be ashamed of themselves.

Hm, [ spake the idiot melee fighter, ] that's good.
[ Is it good? It sounds good. ]
