For some this was an artistic transfiguration into concrete, non-magical substance of the world. For others, this was a war in which all were slain, their bodies becomeing the substance of the world. For yet others, this was a romantic marriage and parenthood, with the parent spirits naturally having to die and give way to the succedding mortal races.........The magical beings, then, having died, became the et'Ada. The et'Ada are the things percieved and revered by the mortals as gods, spirits, or geniuses of Aubris. Through their deaths, these magical beings seperated themselves in nature from the other magical beings of the Unnatural realms."- The Monomyth 

Notice how the words "death" and "died" show up a few times. The gods only dream that they are alive through mortal worship, a concept outlined in Gods and Worship if you're wondering.

There's definitely some logic manipulation going on here.
