With humans knowing so very little it is not surprising to learn that not everyone agrees on every aspect of the Old Gods and humanity's place in the world. New translations of old texts, discoveries of ancient artifacts and just better reasoning of evidence causes changes all the time. On top of that people of different lands often have their own interpretation of the same text.
