That may be overdoing it a bit. The five elements may not have a _central_ position in Pelorian philosophy, but it's rather hard to not recognize something which has undeniable physical manifestations aka elementals.

Confusion gets worse. Sky or air? Sky goddess she was all the time, being Yelm's spouse, having the Light rune in GoG etc. And isn't one of the conclusions of the Entekosiad that Dendara isn't _quite_ Entekos?
