Palangio fighting Lokamayadon and the trolls. Palangio incarnates Daysenerus, while the trolls incarnate Kyger Litor. Nysalor steps out from Daysenerus and cripples Kyger Litor. Etc.

Greg said that Yelmalio is the modern day name for Daysenerus, the High Sun. In this context, Daysenerus seems to be one of the high "gods of the gods". He also said that Elmal is a much more limited god (or interpretation of a god) than Yelmalio.
He said another interesting thing for this debate in the same late night session: "there are fewer gods than you think". Just as an adition to the debate of the identity or not of Yelmlio and Elmal.

Exactly. When we speak about the gods and their natures, we often mean the _cults_ of the gods. Cults, the religious expression, change when new truths are revealed and when the old ways of worship are found wanting, but the gods don't (usually).
