You have your time line sort of messed up. Hastatus' former name is
Avivorus, not
Avivath the one armed Avatar of Antirius. Avivorus was pissed at Orogoros'
imperfection and (seemed like he DIed) prayed(badly) to Antirius and
Antirius roasted the emperor. Then Avivorus ascended directly to
Antirius(He rolled equal to his Pow?) where he got the new name.(Sorry
abvout the RQisms)
Avivath is during the Dominions of Last evil,Avivath, and Antirius.
He also roasts emperors. Similar, but I wonder how many Yelmites have
Sunspear, I
would assume a lot. These two just used them to roast emperors.
Sagittus is another name for Urengerum, the god of the city of
>Elempur, who is saved from death at the hands of the Ram People by one of
>the emperors, Urvairinus I assume. As Urengerum is the Protector of the
>city, he is a son of Yelm, or a stand-in for him.
He is Urengerum, but he wasn't saved from death. He had to be called back through sacrifice. The city of Elempur was ruined so Urvairinus basically transferred him to Raibanth, and gave him a different name. I think of the transfer like how Pavis is transfered from the Old Pavis temple to the New Temple. Sagittus has to play second fiddle to Raibamus and Elempur was associated with archery(They brought the Bow of Dominace to Anaxial's enthronement), so he gets to be the god of archery. Also he isn't necessarily one of the sons of Yelm. If he is, then he is a renamed god after the return of Anaxial after the flood. He is not mentioned among the eight celestial sons(Though there are two sons that are unassociated with cities). Also, Elempur was not a city until Murharzam's time(The empire only went as far south as Nivorah) and Urengerum's name is similar to the area Urengeri. This suggests that settlers went to this area after the flood and prayed to the god of the area(not a son of Yelm) to become the god of their city. Note that Sagittus is a servant of Yelm yet in the God's Wall is in Row III(i.e. not to be generally worshipped during the first 50K years of the empire). This might be an error by Pletonius, though.

GRoY states that Lorkarnos was not his son but a servant and imperial officer.
