>David Hall tells a story of Elmal/Yelmalio where Elmal "wins" at the Hill of

Alas, this was my original conception for the cult of Elmal, and I came to the same reasoning that you did that Yelmalio lost his fire powers to ZZ because of lack of support. However, I was Gregged. Deciding to side my vote with the "official" version of Elmal, wherein Elmal has no fire powers, this story unfortunately is of no use to me :( Thanks for trying to help anyway. The same goes for what Michael Raaterova said.

Actually, until recently, I thouhgt that the fight described in KoS p.195 equates to the Hill of Gold, although rather than being a hill it's a bridge. This makes lots more sense, although why ZZ would appear to attack Elmal alongside Shargash is beyond me... I think this is all coming together :)
