<< Sure, Storm Tribe says that Orlanth threw him the torch at the dawning, but I suspect that the Elmali know that was purely symbolic, Elmal would have been back at dawn again anyway, as he had each time before. The torch strengthened him, of course. (Further I suspect that some Elmali know that Elmal created the path up out of the underworld that Orlanth and the other gods later tread. >>
It was suggested to me that the torch that Orlanth threw was an aspect of Elmal anyway. Also that Elmal went to Hell with the Emperor while he was still part of the his court, the Sun Tribe. Probably, this should also be the torch part. Where does the invisible mountain come into it?
