There weren't many lawful gods.
They added up to only about one-third of the total number of evil gods and demon gods.
However, the lawful gods' combat power was higher on average.
Even a somewhat out-of-whack lawful god like the Water Goddess was quite strong in battle.
Especially in the main plane, she was so strong that only Winterwolf could rival her.
The Goddess of Storms wasn't too strong in combat either, but she was a very gentle and independent goddess, and her teachings were similar to the Church of Love's in that they both promoted female autonomy and independence.
But the approach was different.
One taught to let go of their minds and bodies, that they could do what men could do.
The Church of Storms, on the other hand, preached self-discipline and chastity.
The two schools of thought were opposite of each other on the surface but were essentially following the same path.
