Going through the MSQ, around the fight with Laksmi, Lyse asks about our fates and the twelve. And during the DRK questline a similar question was asked. And both times I picked the "no gods, only men" answer. And both times the response was along the lines of where are they or why they would let this happen.

So I was thinking if Halone or Thaliak or whoever, ever got off their fat asses and came to help; I'd tell them to bugger off, we've got this. Might even deck them for good measure. If they even exist in the first place.
