Well, there is divine intervention, the gods just got tired of doing all the work (presumably when the 9 worlds got big enough)so built a machine to, you know, do it for them. But as seen in Twilight..6?..the whole of Creation stops working if the World Engine stops turning, and there isn't a Verthandi around to pick up the slack. I assume Cephiro is kind of the same thing, s/Verthandi/Corwin (and on a much smaller scale as well).

As for Anthy's ongoing job, remember we've seen Jotun's and sorcerers invading so far. Also, she took her job very seriously and re established Date Night.
