"...Yelm was Illuinated. He experienced the impossible. Yelm experienced being one of the Many while he was nameless and faceless. He had no contact with the One. He at last knew the Other." - GROY

What exactly this means, for a deity like Yelm to be Illuminated, is a matter of complicated and divisive debate to both Gloranthans and Glorantha fans. The Gloranthan debate is summarised in The Fortunate Succession. No one really knows for sure anything other than what is written above (and there are some who would doubt even that, based on the inherent biases of the source).
