In Runescape, the gods are not like Greek/Roman or other game gods where if they die, then their portfolio/role/etc in the universe goes with them or the universe is thrown into chaos/imbalance until someone else takes their seat/power/portfolio.
Case in point: Bandos
Wars existed before Bandos became a god.
Wars continued on Gielinor and elsewhere after he died.
You can't really even call them an avatar of a concept or anything.
In Runescape, gods are merely highly empowered entities whose personalities and behaviors just happen to focus around a central theme.
V was an adventurer.
Saradomin was a former King that believed in Order and that he needed to guide everyone as the king above all.
Bandos loved fighting/war and wanted everyone to fight. He got bored without it.
Zamorak grew up on a dead world and believed that strife and chaos made everyone stronger. To stagnate was the worst thing that could happen. Hence his polar opposite view to saradomin.
Each of them might have championed their ideology and had the luxury of being very powerful and virtually immortal to allow them to spread the word of what they preached.
Azzanadra very much believed in Order. Especially Zaros' view of Order. He was affected by Zaros' passive ability where people fell under his power over time. (Sort of like how people would just fall in love with Seren.)
His opposition to Zamorak, despite them originally being the same species, basically goes back to their differing view points and him seeing Zammy as a traitor. Thousands of years has done nothing to bring the 2 closer together despite their race being nearly extinct at this point.
He's a champion of order and self improvement thru order.
