You Mon'keigh are frustratingly direct in your approach - you can't just tell them they are being manipulated - then they'll... know! I suppose that wouldn't affect our manipulations at all, but it would make it less fun if they knew they were being played: like your Inquisition - sometimes they do our bidding - but they're always so apprehensive and paranoid that the Eldar are always up to something mischievous. (Which we are) Our only active god is a trickster, machinations are basically the faith of the Eldar. Plots are our penance and prayers.
Three active gods, really. 1. Cegorach (said Trickster) 2. Isha (sneaks cures and remedies to mortals) 3. Khaine (fragmented but still potent)
Three living gods I'd say. Khaine isn't able to manifest his will directly, except when we take his form for ourselves. Isha - while still an actor in our grand design and very much alive - is not able to take directly take action either on account of being in Nurgle's garden. Cegorach alone is active in the world.
