Since Elmal left the Fire tribe and joined the Storm tribe.

This is a simple question with many (complex?) answers from mythology. Yelm (or one of his successors, Antirius?) is the sun for the Darra Happans and their neighbours. IMO not all inhabitants of the Lunar empire accept Yelm as the sun. And behind the scenes, at some deep level Elmal, Yelmalio, Ehilm, Somash etc. are (parts of) Yelm. I seem to remember that there is a Q&A on the issaries site about this. Its the same as Dobdurban being the god of the wind for the Lunar empire (or at least some parts of it).
