There are only six shards left, and one of them is the void, leaving us with five really. Yet we've still got twelve gods.
Honestly I have questions on this too tbh. I think overall we need more metaphysics info haha. Right now I'm kind of drawing links between things that seem suspicious and like there's stuff going on, but as of this moment I don't have a full theory formulated. I do wonder if the shards are truly destroyed or just corrupted or shifted in some way. I also wonder if there's weird fusion stuff going on because again, Nald'Thal. I legit don't have a clear explanation across the board yet though. It feels like something's missing.

I will say though, IIRC there were connections drawn between Sophia the Goddess and both Azeyma and Nald'Thal in terms of iconography. I also remember reading stuff about imagery in I think Sunken Temple of Qarn and Sophia, Azeyma and Nald'Thal. Other people commented to the effect that religious figures seem to be evolving and shifting around archetypes over time, which makes sense, but I think there are holes in our overall understanding. Rn I can kind of go okay x, y, and z seem linked but wouldn't feel confident covering all aspects of that yet.
