Really? KoS: "Monrogh is the one who traveled to the sun god to find the truth which was needed. He traversed the worlds, and met with the elf lords and the wandering souls who had still been seeking the vision. They were assembled as the Witnesses, who have brought their magics to the cult. Monrogh did not know the name of the god for whom he searched, but when he returned to this world he brought back Yelmalio. This deity was already known among the elves, and was said to be the wounded body of the sun limping across the sky (perhaps even the immortal part, since it was not in the underworld with the Emperor.) He recited the List of Visionaries, whose works had prepared the way for the liberation of Yelmalio among humans. The success of Monrogh at attaining the truth attracted the rest of the Elmal worshipers who wanted to join the new sun religion. They were the first converts."
He HQed to find Yelmalio, and thus "proved" that he was not the same as Elmal (or Yelm). Quite successfully, it seems. Sure, it found a way out of strife, but that was how he did it.

John Hughes would appear to disagree with you, and he's done more work there than anyone else.

Ha. Ha. Very funny. Come off it Peter, you *wrote* some of the history in which they worshipped Somash, and helped with the bit where they worshipped Sun Dragon. Not to mention the odd few centuries where they were ruled by nomads, and all the Cold Sun arguments. But naturally, any priest there now will tell you they've "always" worshipped Yelmalio - of course he will! He's done a HQ to prove it, and if he's convinced you, it must have been quite successful, too.

Nobody? Ever? How do you imagine you're going to prove that?

And that makes it less relevant because?
