The Pantheon formed when the first Creator realized their unfinished ideas needed a place to rot; Waste Management was the cosmic oversight committee assigned to prevent 'The Dump' from overflowing into the Material Plane.

The Dump is a pocket dimension shaped like a funnel, where all discarded matter, forgotten memories, and magical runoff from the Great Wheel eventually settle to be processed.

A rigid hierarchy governed by 'The Schedule,' where deities are ranked based on their efficiency in processing cosmic runoff rather than their number of followers.

The gods view mortals as accidental infestations within the garbage. They find the cults—who believe the gods are 'cleaning' the world of sin—to be an amusing biological byproduct of sentient waste.

Souls are viewed as spiritual packaging. The essence is stripped for raw materials by Glup, while the memory-husks are cataloged by Protocol 7 and stored in the Infinite Archives of the Unwanted.
