It does. We gods were never human. This is why we have exemplars. They serve as our guides, having known human fault and human weakness. Having gods who know these things due to having been human is uncommon. Highly uncommon, at least until lately.

Amaterasu isn't responsible. She only knows as much as we do. That is to say, not very much either. But she has been searching as many of us have for those responsible.

No, it's never happened before. If any shinki agreed to serve another god, it was always of their own will. If a god would forcefully name another's shinki, they would be swiftly punished. Our shinki treasure their names and don't allow themselves to be so easily named by another. In the same vein, a shinki will never take the same shape for another god. If one of mine were to become a sword for me, they may take the shape of a bow for another. Noras have always existed. Their presence has always been unwelcome to say the least. These are things we rarely speak of. If a god uses a nora, it isn't something readily admitted.

I didn't choose to become a god. I was indeed given a name and a description, as you ask. Who did it, I can't say. But it was the first thing I recall and I would imagine the first thing any future incarnation of mine will recall: my name and my purpose as the god of war.
