GRAY is written from the perspective of the first age. The Cult of Yelm has changed quite a bit since then as have what people believe about Yelm. The primary change took place in after the death of Nysalor. There the worshippers of Antirius became worshippers of Yelm whereas the God Antirius was redefined into becoming the Guardian of the Emperor.

Social classes are pretty defunct in the Empire. The real indication of social status is through your clan. If someone in your clan has become Satrap of Darjiin, then you will be very high-and-mighty even if you were a mere peasant in the fields before he became Satrap.

The Nobility do not worship Antirius nor is there much fuss about cult-mobility in the lower orders. There is a great deal of fuss if some johnny-come-lately manages to become Satrap or Senator but this is largely ineffectual. Get a look at Enclosure #1 which has a list of Gods and Goddesses of the Lunar Empire.

What's wrong with the cult of Yelm in GoG?
