Quite unreliable, it seems. I heard they provided no aid during the dragon's attack on the city. And aside from Odin's speech, and a few contests here and there, have made no attempt to interact with the people they've brought here.

[And here's the part that really concerns Charles.] It is true that the things they're capable of are difficult to explain, though science can sometimes result in what seems like magic. For instance, individuals with abilities much like the ones the gods have given people here have begun to appear in my world. That, however, is a result of natural evolution, a simple but brilliant mutation in the genetic code.

Which is why I cannot begin to understand how these gods have managed to both suppress old abilities and force new ones to surface.
