I think that one *possible* explanation is when Yelm died, he split into three parts; Sedenya, the Red Goddess; Antirius, the Yellow part; Annila the Blue Moon. Shargash apparently kills Sedenya, which would be on the orders of Antirius!! A Civil War among the parts of Yelm to decide who will become the Ruler of the Sky!! This would mean the inclusion of the "Hidden Parts of Yelm" that appear from nowhere. It would also cause massive confusion as the dead body of Sedenya apparently turns out to be Blue Moon Plateau. But I like the basic idea.
Secondly, in Greg Fried's Selakuan Cult description, he includes a Pretty
Neat Idea. I'll repeat it here. The White Moon was, in fact, Ginna Jar. She
leads the Lightbringers to Yelm, wherein she marries Yelm. Their son, Yalem
Sunsson Moonsson, rises at the Dawn. Yalem is Yellow, whereas Yelm is White.
Looking at this in more detail, your characters may wish to HQ to recover
the *real* sun.
Also, as a side detail. GRoY mentions the rising of two suns. Maybe the
first (or second?) was Yalem and the other was Yelm? Food for thought.

He probably did in the form of Emperor Yelmgatha.

The perfect sun may have moved. Although, rather than moving across the Sky and into the Underworld, the Sun may have moved in a circular path across Glorantha, from the North to the West to the SOuth to the East. At each point was a palace.
