In Vana'diel you actually DO FIGHT against Promathia, which is another god just like Altana. Like Yin and Yang.
If one exists it's pretty much likely the other does too and it's not just a myth made up by humans.
Thats part of what I meant though, that fight in particular for instance, we fought Promathia, lore wise a single adventurer and a few friends fought Promathia, but no one else really knows. An adventurer going around saying they fought and killed the Twilight god would be like me going around my neighborhood telling everyone that last week I fought and killed the Devil. Its something you have no proof of, that at best you and 10 other people know about because they were there. Basically we know Altana is real, we know Promathia is real, between CoP and WotG I believe both of those are confirmed, however to the rest of the normal inhabitants of Vana, they have never seen these things, so they cant say for sure it does.
