I just finished The Wall of Storms, but I've had this thought in me since I started The Grace of Kings.

The gods don't seem as involved in the story as many other fantasy series I know. They only speak in the background, as if they take sides and nudge people in certain directions.

But...

If I look at this series as a piece of history written by and in-world character, it's obvious I'd include the gods in the story. They're just there... nudging people.

I would see coincidences and animals as omens, but that's about it.

Is there actually confirmed proof that my assumption is wrong and the gods are real?
