The Worldeater and Albedi

Balance exists in all things. That the Worldeater was born with a Twin - the Other - to offset His aptitude of Creation, displays this quite well. When He chose His path of cowardice, He upset the balance. How many worlds, creations, people, were lost by Him believing He was above the natural Cycle of Creation and Destruction?
My question has been, since learning of what Varian did by going from Creator to Destroyer, is this: would the universe allow one being to be that out of balance? Wouldn't Varian then become a Destroyer Himself and no longer a Creator?
Now follow my thread of thought. If He is now a Destroyer, Where did we come from after Varian devoured the First World?
I do not believe that Varian created us. That everyone is standing on this crumbling stoop and shouting that we should be thankful to the Worldeater for my existence..
Well, no. I believe another Creator is responsible for us, and another act of violence happened elsewhere, and He took us, and made us hate the proper creator's of this world - the Albedi. As Koduses stated, this timeline was made by the Endless. If the timeline is Theirs, what else belongs to Them?
While we know more than we did, we don't know everything.
As the Voice of the Wilds, and with the backing of my Speakers and Council, I am righting a wrong that has been in place far too long.
Beginning now, Duiran is lifting the ban on Albedi worship. Not for the whole Albedi Pantheon, as like in our own Pantheon, there are Some who remain untenable with our beliefs, and want nothing but destruction out of spite. But those who do not seek to harm us, but have helped or remained neutral and aloof to the war begun by Varian's invasion.
Open to worship are: The Elemental Gods of Accord, Muadi, the Gatekeeper, Dejaani, the Guardian of the First Flame, and Acheros, the Endless.
In time, as we learn more of the others, this list may be expanded or pared.
