Its my understanding that Apple Lane exists and will be appearing somewhere in the Sartar Rising series. However, the place does not sit well with a few folks and they would rather it not exist.
Me? I found it wierd but nice.

Yelmalio is worshipped in the Sun Dome Temples and that's never changed as far as I know. Elmal is worshipped amongst the clansmen. But even in RQ2 days, Yelmalions were very much a breed apart from everyone else, living in their little kibbutz-like communnes.
Elmal is worshipped in clans. Yelmalio is worshipped in the Sun Dome Temples. Very simple. Very easily explained. There is no reason to make it into a huge obscure obtruse mystery.
Hope this helps,
