MagisterCultuum
Great Sage
I believe that it has been stated that many have tried to worship Cassiel, but that really bothers him and he puts an end to it quickly. There is some speculation that he developed some of his vices (like his drinking problem) on purpose so that people would see him as a flawed individual less deserving of their reverence. When those he loved were suffering from a great plague he was tempted to use his power to heal them, but refused for fear it might encourage a cult around him.
Cassiel doesn't like Erebus as it is, but he doesn't think he has any right to act to change it.
Conflicts that Adventurers may want aren't really Cassiel's concern. He'd rather they just stay home and work their farms. Like the Luonnatar, they aren't really encouraged, just not stopped. In general Adventurers fallow Tali, who of all the gods is the least mature (although not fanatical enough to drag many to fight in his name).
Cassiel very much cares about human sins. He is a very ethical man (using the term loosely) who wants to make humanity (and the gods) more ethical as well. While he wants men to act in their rational best interest, he has a great dislike of the greedy. He dislikes Mammon as much as anyone. Cassiel just doesn't think that he has any personal authority to try to stop human sins unless he personally or those he loves is a victim of the crime.
I'm not sure Cassiel really teaches the Grgori that the gods aren't gods as he tries to convince them that they aren't worth following. How do we define a god anyway? By most definitions, Cassiel would be a great fool and a liar to claim the angels were not divinities. Cassiel himself does not reveal much, he asks questions to challenge men's assumptions about the angels and make them think for themselves. He has never spoken of The One, at least not to the living.
To some degree, Cassiel has come to see his goals as unattainable, and so he doesn't do much to further them. He is too depressed to take an active role, but stubborn to give up.
What makes you think Erebus has empires of hundreds of millions? I always assumed population scaled much differently in FfH. What would be a city of millions in BtS would be but a few thousand in FfH. Maybe units of population scales differently among different races too.
