Y'know you not helping matters much by these tactics. Not only was the original question ask for something completely different than the above snippet implies (it actually being a question over the detection of a heretic), I also addressed your latest question in a segment that you deleted.

They weren't suppressed by any "authority". They were violently overthrown in a civil war by a Yelmic movement known as "The New Light".

This is the writeup that doesn't mention Yelm at all?

Dragon Pass and Dara Happa are a long way from each other to such an extent that the Orlanthi and the Pelorians are completely different people. As far as can be seen from Dara Happan maps, Yelm never ruled over Dragon Pass in the Golden Age.
