He wasn't heroquesting to prove anything of the sort but to find a way out of the strife between conservative Orlanthi and Yelmizing Elmali.

Again they did nothing of the sort. They worshipped Yelmalio long before they arrived in the Far Place and know that he's different from Elmal.

Nobody heroquested to prove that Yelmalio was Elmal there. Since its foundation, they've always worshipped Yelmalio.

The Praxian Yelmalio is a spirit called Sun Hawk. Nobody has heroquested to prove that Sun Hawk and Yelmalio are the one and the same. The Aldryami Halamalao is Yelmalio but only Elf-Friends actually care about this.
