"One who is like no other" might still work for Yelm. If only some of the nobility of Dara Happa were singly devoted enough to Yelm, but misguided enough to attempt other methods to "reach" him...

Part of of me thinks it'd be neat to have one of the "symptoms of baleful degrading Lunar influence on our proud culture" was speculative Yelmic mis-applied veneration in the Dara Happan Heartlands.

I think I might be an edition too late though... ;)
