It's not common, for a god to leave their domain. The risk of losing a manifested form, while recoverable, is annoying, and a significant drawback. But it has been known, rarely, to happen. Sometimes, gods need to be do something important outside of their domain, and there are no acolytes or priests capable. Sometimes, a god is desperate enough to act as their own missionary. Sometimes, a god has no acolytes, and must accomplish all of the duties an acolyte would by themselves.
Raezenoth? Is bored. He has run out of things to do, and Idania is busy. With her boyfriend. Again. He would damn him, if he did not make her so happy.
He decides to go through a portal an explore. It's not without forethought, he's not stupid, he avoids the witch's world with its 'soul-pets' and the worlds where he could potentially be under threat, or expected to hide. That leaves, quite neatly, exactly one. Medallion and the daeva's set of worlds are dangerous and flying in public is considered abnormal. Spellbinders take time to charge their spells, and so he has time to react to them. The same is not true of Prime's world, though that's his second option. The world with spellbinders is his first.

Absolutely."

He kisses her forehead. "I'm going to guess that it is slightly less of a - thing for you."

"Considerably less, yes. I mean, it's serious - but it is a thing you do when you are serious rather than a serious thing intrinsically."

"I mean, they are probably on the same order of magnitude of seriousness, so it may be academic."

"Yeah. They seemed pretty happy to spend the rest of eternity together. While flaunting."

"Mmm. Tempting, but I don't think the danger's worth the ability to cuddle souls and talk to myself. Besides, we can't lose our nerve now. We got this far without the cheaty soul birds."
"Excuse me," says Rae, completely unconcerned with the display of definitive couplehood in front of him. He's seen lots of mortals in all sorts of compromising places, this display doesn't matter to him one way or the other. "Iobel."
