Be sure not to confuse "Solar" with "Lunar" - DX is in the Lunar 7Moms quest, but is totally unknown to the (pre-Red Apotheosis) Solars. The murderers are summoned to hell by Yelm's great justice, and seek His pardon. The 7Moms were probably more aware of Solar versions of the story than the Storm, so they'd assign roles that way.
(So what's the Water version of the story? We've seen the Storm (Straight LBQ), Solar (Yelm summons his murderers) had a lovely Darkness idea, Earth is asleep and is rescued/wakened by a Husband/Protector, but what is Water's version? "We all jumped down the Whirlpool to plug up the hole where the Spike used to be and..."?)
