Hinduism has rather more gods than three - I mean, technically everything
comes down to Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, but then they're all part of
God/the Absolute/whatever, so it's rather splitting hairs.  In an
'orthodox' Hindu UA game, then, Entropy would be Shiva, Order Vishnu, and
Brahma the incarnate Godhead.  Or maybe Order is Brahma and the Comte de
Saint Germain is Vishnu.  When a mortal becomes an Archetype, he'd embody
a fragment of the divine, as the gods do.

'lila' - creative divine dance/play - would be an interesting concept to
apply to UA cosmology - the idea that the world is a game between the
Clergy.  Could lead into the self-referential plot from Over the Edge.
