Hmmm. There's 8 pillars, but 10 cards listed.
Can anyone explain this?
1 seems to represent convergence, which is an event significant to the details of their real world basis.
But even if the Convergence itself doesn't count, being that it'd represent the 8 pillars merged, that still leaves 9.
We also have something strange:
They have Gods of Time & Space. But the line: "In the beginning, there was no light nor even time in the 'primal Tehom' filled with the 'black water'. Then, the eight pillar deities were born, and then the Sun was created."
....This causes me some confusion.
"Then, the eight pillar deities were born"; This suggests the 8 pillars were born AFTER time began, despite them being the pillar deities who's form serve as the foundation of creation.
If this is the case, then if they were born after time, even if 1 or 2 of them governs time, they didn't create it, so that'd be High 3-A for just creating the universe, not a whole timeline.
There might be something for stabilization feats, although do mind the wording suggests it's maintained among the 8 of them. Maybe? There's 1 for space, for one.
Anyway, there's 1 or 2 extra Ogdoad.
However, there may be a counterargument.
"In the beginning, there was no light nor even time in the 'primal Tehom' filled with the 'black water'. "
""When the world first began, there existed 'the black waters of the primal Tehom'. They took shape and grew, and what was born were eight pillar deities with fluid forms that serve as the foundation of creation."
This indicates that before light or even time, there was the primal Tehom, filled with the black water, & the Ogdoad took shape from that.
So although they formed after time, it may be that what they took shape from, Tehom, predates time. & as said, after being formed, they created all that exists. So that may be an argument for them predating space, too, even if they may predate space more than they (arguably) predate time due to what they were formed from itself, Tehom, arguably predating time.
