This is the exact type of attitude the Watchman is forming a council to discourage. Everything that we do affects the others, no god is an island.
For example, the ocean is not only going to effect your peoples ability to trade, but also traps any of your people that are in the free cities in them until it lets up. And heaven help any of your people that are on the water, because they have to brave not only the storm, but also a bunch of mad sea creatures, including undines and giant sharks.
The current situation was caused by not one God, but several. The Watchman by spreading his message, breaking Hazet, and ticking off Gil and Waverider. Hazet for going full tyrant, then deciding to go after Gil when he woke up. Gil for introducing slavery, waking Hazet up, and hitting him and Waverider so hard in shook their very domains. Waverider for getting involved in the fight, and Zaya for sending the Watchman after Hazet.
In fact, The Watchman is the most at fault here. It was his masks that caused Hazet to start cracking down
and Inspired Gil to slavery in the first place. So in a way, he was the root cause of this conflict.
