Raiba/Raibanth/Antirius would be my opinion.

I'm not disputing your protrayal of Shargashi as inaccurate, it seems perfectly sound to me. I just believe that their world view would be more integrated. When a Shargashi runs amok, he should feel he is being true to both Shargash and Yelm in much the same way as the Taufengs (sp?) felt that they were devout Christians when they ate poor Muslims on the First Crusade. The idea of a division between Shargash and Yelm seems to me ugly.
