I agree with Keith, and IMO there are at least three or more still undocumented but important Elmal cults that still need publishing. The Torchbearer cult for one, the Anti-Darkness Warrior for another, but also an Underworld Survivor cult.
As I said in a recent post, I believe that the Elmal in Hell myths take place in what the Orlanthi would recognise as the Storm Tribe Age, so I think that the trail was already blazed ;-) by Elmal by the time Orlanth and co needed it : indeed Elmal's Torchbearing Son (the Son of the Sun) died IMO during the darkness, and was able to lead Orlanth up into the World again.
