The Battle of Warring Ford in 500 ST which involved a combined dwarf-troll army against the Kralori. Result: a victory for the Kralori.
Errinoru's conquest of the Mari Mountain Mostali. This is probably the origin of the vegetarianism heresy.
There's also the third Nidan Army sent out to punish the Greatway Conclave. It was surprised and destroyed by the EWF.
Also Gronkalg(?) the Accelerator used some sort of one-use gizmo to send his dwarvern conclave to Jrustela to prevent them from doom and destruction. I have no idea where he came from or the type of foes that he faced.

Good grief. That just wipes out everything that Greg wrote, doesn't it?

The term Sun Dome Temple refers to a particular type of Temple Design rather than the name of the Sun God it is dedicated to, or the type of rituals that are used therein.

The Praxian and the Dragon Pass Temples date back to the Kingdom of Dragon Pass and the EWF. It is known that the EWF extended its talons into Ralios as Alakoring Dragonbreaker started his revolt against them there. Thus the EWF could have quite easily placed several Sun Dome Temples in Ralios in the second age.

Well what other criteria can we use? The name of the God? (Antirius during the First Age, Yelmalio now). The type of rituals used? (Dara Happan in the first age, draconic during the second, demented hazia consumption a few scant years ago).

IMO Yelmalio is a Sun Cult.
