Heler and the Elves (and others)

A question came up while discussing Glorantha with someone else I infected with the bug. Does anyone here know if the Aldryami (any of them) have any kind of relationship with or known attitude towards Heler? After all, they certainly give Halamalao the Sun his due - but wouldn't walking plants, especially walking plants in rainforests, also have some appreciation for the rain? Or is Heler too much of a human god for them to care?

Heler generally seems oddly elusive considering his relative importance. I suppose he tends to get subsumed by Orlanth in many places. Still, as the rain god, the father of sheep and one of the children of Sramake, you'd think he would be more notable. I suppose I'm also curious as to any mentions of Heler or someone a lot like him/her under a different name outside of Theyalan culture.
