But the Myth of Elmal tells the orlanthi that Elmal was a warrior of the Sun tribe (of the evil emperor). Elmal left the unjust court of the Emperor, and joined Orlanth's ring.
Surely it's diffucult for them to think that the sun above is Elmal with the above, unless they think that Elmal patrols the _orlanthi_ lands, and in "foreign parts", different sun's shine.
Doesn't sound that unplausible to me.
