Even if the original five were brothers and sisters, mortal morality doesn't always seem to apply to the Gods.The new Gods could also be the result of liaisons between the prime Gods/Goddesses and mortals or monsters.Then there's ways for Gods to be borne that are just plain different to mortal norms - think of Athene springing from Zeus's head. Perhaps one of the prime Gods was killed and several new Gods sprang from his corpse?Or could any of the new Gods be "elevated" mortals - that (I believe) is the supposed origin of at least some of the Greyhawk and FR gods.</blockquote>
