Mmh... I was under the impression that the status of a cult (whether it's a sub-cult, an aspect of a major deity or a just cult) would depend on the number of worshippers, while (correct me if I'm wrong) you are saying that it depends on the importance of the god's myths. So Yelm is still the Celestial Pantheon's head because he is the Emperor, and Shargash recognizes this?

But Alkoth is in the underworld, and there is no Yelm, as he is dead, whereas Shargash is very active. I think that Shargash was the most important celestial deity during the Darkness. Doesn't that make him the most important deity of the pantheon in the place/time where Alkoth is?
Then Peter:

That's more or less what I had in mind. But then Yelm would be Theist-Celestial-Shargash-Yelm-Bijiif, T.-C.-S.-YelmBijiif, T.-C.-Yelm-Bijiif or something else still?
