It's _Ash: Or the Secret History_ by Mary Gentle. It's published as four
volumes
here in the states. I got mine from the UK where it's a mammoth,
single-volume,
trade paperback.
I also recommend her _Rats and Gargoyles_, which is another fun filled romp
through a world where the elder gods have decided to put the smackdown on
humanity.
Oh, and there's five, yes five, compass directions.
