Pretty sure Rausa does not help clean up Elmal's blood or help the Storm Tribe in any way. Remember your KoDP:
"Aklor escorted Orlanth and his companions across their beautiful, but shadowed land to the magnificient, vacant palace of their ruler. This was Rausa, goddess of the Western Gates. She hated Orlanth because he had killed her father, Yelm, and banished him to remain forever below her own Western Gates. Rausa had been the last to see him in the world of the living. She hated Orlanth so much that she smeared herself with her father's crimson blood to remind herself to take revenge. She hated Orlanth so much that, whenever she had the strength, she armed and rose up from the horizon to look for him. She wished to send Orlanth to her father's fate, and then lock the Gates of the West behind him."
Theya, on the other hand, is a good goddess to the Orlanth. She's the Dawn, and presumably was absent for a very long time until after the LBQ.
