No, but they're not officially mentioned either. But hey, if so many of us believe in them, they surely must exist!

They themselves (and other ralians) probably believe the later. But published sources (can't remember which ones at the moment) suggest the former.

I think they know of the sun as Ehilm, but don't worship him. This is because they had no history of sun-worship previous to the identification of him as the Emperor.

Right. I wonder when that conversion happened?

Maybe, but if they're not the ancestors of the Lanksti, who are?

But then again... as David has pointed out to me in private e-mail, all the other 'prizes' (Yelm, Arkat, Sheng) are non-orlanthi. And they all turn out to be a mixed blessing sooner or later. So there's still some room for doubt. All we really know is that she's useful in fighting both Arkati and God Learners.
