Plants, I'm sure, since they convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.

Yelm became illuminated in Hell, so he probably qualifies as the first Illuminate.

He ruled Ralios for 75 years, according to Cults of Terror.
As I recall, the God Learners destroyed the Cult of Arkat because it was in their way; one of its main missions was to protect the HeroQuest paths, and the God Learners didn't want them protected.
BTW, some of the Rise of Ralios info that was posted makes reference to the fact that the East Ralians have never forgiven Arkat, and use his name as a swear word (instead of yelling, "God damn!" when you stub your toe, you shout, "Arkat!").
Neil Smith wrote about Praxian butchery rituals. I'll bet, on the mundane level, they cut up the animal on its back, using its skin to catch everything, much as modern Mongols butcher sheep.
