Probably more likely to do with liberating yourself (or others) from Orlanthi, Overcoming Adversity (darkness foes, maybe?) and finally being Recognised by Yelm.

Owch. I wonder if there's a Yelmalian proverb to the effect of "There clearly _is_ enough room to swing a cat in here"?

Yes, indeed. This would be Yelmalio's own light, never extinguished. Corresponding to his manifestations as the bright sky, as dawn and dusk, and as Lightfore during the night. Maybe the quest begins with Yelmalio being given his light by the sun, and then defending it against darkness foes, finally being rejoined by the sun.

I guess so. It'd suggest a HoG stage, though he only seems tp _lose_ armour et al on that... Presumably there's some sort of preparatory/armouring stage of the quest before the HoG proper, though.

See "Monrogh", I'd think.
