| − | This god was brought to Balazar by Balazar himself. His cult was set up in the Beehive Temples of the Citadels, no Golden Domes here, the Temples were given this form for reasons unknown but the Elven Shrines in the Forests of Balazar and the Elven Wilds often have beehive forms, so perhaps it was another example of Balazar's flexibility and foresight. It is known that he HeroQuested to show that Yelmalio was the Golden Warrior from Votanki myth and that he was the Forest Sun from Elven myth, so Yelmalio was accepted by the Votanki.

| − | When the DragonKill War happened, Balazar and the rest of the Yelmalians marched away down the throats of a million dragons and only a handful returned. The power of Yelmalio was broken for many generations and only the old, infirm and very young remained. The Beehive Temples were maintained as was the worship of Yelmalio, but the form of worship changed. The cultists knew they were in difficult territory as the Votanki were still not sure of the horse-riding cultists, so they went back to the roots of the Votanki Yelmalio. They abandoned the horse and used Dogs as Yelmalio had used dogs in the Votanki tradition. They became more influenced by the Elven Yelmalio and took on many of his properties. They also looked back at their own teachings and became more traditional than their fellows. Unlike the Praxians, they did not absorb many of the local Spirit Cults but went their own way.

| − | Now, the Yelmalio cult in Balazar differs from that in Prax and Dara Happa. It has properties that the others think quaint and odd but all recognize it as a valid part of the cult. Each Citadel has its own worship of Yelmalio with the High Priests descended from the Founder of the Citadel. Elkoi is the Chief Temple as Elkoi was the first born son of Balazar, but the temples fall under the direction of the Kings of the Citadels.
