Honestly, at this point I think that's the best that can be said for ANY of the story. So far, weve gotten hints that the gods are at war, that the titans are escaping, that Klothys is doing SOMETHING, that Heliod is trying to take over Meletis, that Elspeth is eacaping, and that Ashiok is there as well.
All those things are hinted at on cards, but we have no book, no online stories, no flavor articles, no "catching up with"... Just these little blurbs, and evidently we wont be getting anything beyond that. I have my doubts that they actually give this set any kind of storyline at this point, it's just a bunch of cards that have to do with the plane and the vague idea that "yeah, there's stuff going on here right now, you figure it out."
I hope they at least write some short stories that expand on what happens.... frankly I can’t believe that everyone in Creative believes that only this short paragraphs will satisfy Vorthos people. Aside from sending emails or tumblr to MaRo, do you know how to ask for more lore?
Yeah, I'll have to agree, maybe we got spoiled with War of the Spark which had a fantastic story, but so far the story seems kind of a mess. I get that Klothys reappeared and that some titans escaped, but aside from that everything is kind of a blur. Still no real explanation on how Elspeth escaped herself, why the gods are electing demigods, how Calix was even created, and, most importantly, I don't have the slightest idea what is Ashiok doing in this whole story. There's still a bit of story left to go, so maybe we'll get there, but honestly, it seems too much stuff crammed into one place.
As for the card itself? S'cool. The real advantage is the fact it triggers on end step, I'd say that makes it even better than Colossal Majesty. Will be useful for Mono-Red/Boros EDH for sure, and the fact it's just an Uncommon means it'll be pretty cheap.

Well, the lore here does specifically state that Xenagos took Klothys' place and didn't just become a god that happened to fill the same colours as the missing one, which implies that the Theros pantheon has some sense of filling in defined spaces.

In a few of the Theros stories they talk about how the gods seem to mimic certain patterns and ideas coughthecolorpiecough so there defiantly is room for saying Xenagos only took godhood due to also being RG.
