As I am new to Glorantha I have not been able to figure out the = relationship between these gods, could someone please help.

Is Elmal another name for Yelmalio? From what I've seen they seem = to be very simular.
- Who did Orlanth beat up, Yelmalio or Elmal? *Do Elmal and Yelmalio get along? *Whats the relationship of Orlanth to Elmal and Yelmalio? In the = cult book it says that yelmalio is worshiped amoung the Orlanthi = barbarians, but I thought Orlanth beat up Yelmalio. It seems that there is a lot of conflicting information about these = gods, unfortunatly I seem to be missing the peices that might put the = whole thing together ( if such information exists ), any help would be = much appreciated. Thank-you.
