Not really. We could just as easily say that our pantheon of gods synthesized themselves into existence and then created the Universe as we could say that they were created by other beings. And this idea of rebellion was equally pointless due to the level of mystery that you bestowed upon them. Rebel against them to take their position as guardians against what? I found myself utterly uncaring for that whole potential plot.

Granted the matter of their inclusion os a comparatively minor thing in my opinion, but I'm just stating my honest thoughts regarding their supposed necessity. I'm interested in hearing what the others think.
