Hi, all. Paul Heinz here.

My pet theory about the Praxian Sundome and who they originally
worshipped takes a leaf from Steve Martins original Elmal/Sun County
explication.

IMG, the Praxians originally worshipped YamSur the Splendid, their
sun god.

Now, from CoP/CoT we are _told_ that no-one remembers anything about
YamSur except his name as he was killed in the Gods War by Kajabor
and ceased to exist.

My belief is that YamSur being the Splendid was a very fastidious
'pretty boy' kind of Sun God who whilst having fertility magic was
not much of a show in a decent fight.

So his worshippers went to DragonKill in all their spiffy finery
(like gilded peacocks) and all died probably ignominously. I tie this
into MOB's scenario where the Lord of YamSur DIed to save his bacon
from a dragon (and so he didn't break a fingernail probably) and only
left his fancy gold chariot and a burnt smear on the wall.

So, the Praxian Sundomers choose to 'forget' all about YamSur as he
was damn embarassing actually and they are ashamed of every having
worshipped or supported him. He probably wore kaftans too.

So, now we have the fine upstanding stoic Yelmalio - much better and
more respectable - but no wearing dresses like that damn YamSur or
else.

TTFN,
  Paul.
