After being slain by the
jealous Storm God, who could not defeat the divine Yelm in any fair contest,
Yelm's power was so great that He drove the creatures of Darkness out of
Hell, and then forced the great Rebel to come to Hell himself, bow the
knee before the Divine Emperor, submit himself to punishment, and conduct
the Great Ruler himself back to his proper place in the Sky. Thus
Yelm has shown that he is more powerful than Death itself, and once
again confirmed his place as the Ruler of the Gods.
The rebel Gods continue to be punished, but are permitted to live, because
all their acts of rebellion do is to confirm the greatness of divine
Yelm, who can turn any act of rebellion into another confirmation of His
rightful Rule.
The many acts of divination and devotion we have performed, and travels upon
the Hero path of the mighty God himself, , have confirmed the
Truth of this tale, many times over. Pity the poor fools who do not
understand this Truth: pity them, and show them the mercy that mighty
Yelm allowed -- allow them to live, but only if they admit the power of
His divine Light.
So speaks the True Voice of Yelm Imperator through the mouths of His
greatest Priests.
