What's the Golden Bow spell?
My version of Golden Bow (actually Jardan, the Warrior age-group cult of the Grazers) has the Flame Bow rune spell.
Flame Bow 2 points
This spell is cast on a bow. It allows every arrow shot from the bow to be a Firearrow for the expenditure of 1 MP. It is incompatible with spirit magic arrow spells.
For completeness, here's the spell which Yelm gets from Golden Bow in some writeups:
Pureshot 2 points
This spell must be cast upon an arrow. If the arrow hits, it ignores the target's armor, both magical and physical. This spell is compatible with all missile-affecting spells except Multimissile.
I'm not sure what you mean by calling Kargzant "another Yelm cult." While it's true that both the Dara Happans and the horse nomads worship the sun and other celestial objects, Plentonius calls Kargzant a "rebellious subject." And Kargzant doesn't even appear on the Gods Wall! That alone signifies he's not part of the Yelm pantheon.
I think you're assuming that because the nomads ruled Dara Happa for many years they share a culture with the Dara Happans. The Dara Happans give the horse lords the title of Emperor because it justifies their realm, and makes that period of history a lot less embarassing. There was lots of cultural borrowing in both directions, but they're both distinct cultures. That both worship the sun and have similar Solar virtues confuses things, of course.
