Just because Urox is not misapplied worship of Storm Bull and vice versa does not mean that the duo are as separate as St. Talor and Yu-Kargzant.
Even the only person within spitting distance of officialdom (probably when he is in the same office as Greg) has stated that he believes the two are the same being.

Another (orlanthi) name for the solar divinity IMO.

Given that the worshippers of these suns (namely Elmal, Ehilm, Yu-kargzant, Yelm, Somash and Zerel Farn) all believe that their sun is the only sun in the sky, what's wrong with a many-to-one mapping rather than insisting that these suns are all seperate beings?
