Capcom gave you the title of Seneschal(without the powers) why be a god if you can't change the world?(no matter how much) Savan is able to craft clone copies of people and summon a dragon into the world(all you can do it turn invisible and walk around) It is boring after 5 minutes just walking aaround doing nothing.

Capcom wanted you to kill yourself (to "break the eternal ring" ...They made being Seneschal undesirable so your character could be the first to let the earth spin on its own- without god) Savan was suffering before you came and was ready to pass on. He has been god for 1000+ years and hates the job(like working at a desk job- with no-one to talk to but a pawn) He stayed out of duty..

No other arisen would show up to challenege you in a few hundred years- so im pretty sure death looks more desirable(savan was a better seneschal in the long run- he actually does his duties as god)

Though I have decided when you kill yourself it causes a paradox and the cycle starts again anyways.
