Good question!
According to the orthodox Lunar view, though, She was Gerra at the time. I'm not sure whether Gerra entered the Underworld, or was one of the few miserable surface deities, or not? I thought she died, though, and so would be present in the Underworld at the time, and that her Illumination took place there. I was under the impression that the Illumination of Yelm occurring at this point was not a coincidence - which would make Gerra not just present at the Great Compromise, but an integral part of it.

According to GROY, Shargash is in the underworld at the time, and sending Yelm back to the surface is the first act Yelm performs afterwards. The part of Yelmic myth that corresponds to the Great Compromise is described in the section labelled Cosmic Justice starting on pg 31 of GROY, and Shargash is clearly present. Cheers
