Was Muharzam-Yelm the first Hill of Gold

Was the original Hill of Gold incident Yelm on his throne, facing Orlanth, ambushed by the dark/moon Bat goddess?

I'm fascinated by this mytheme, it appears a lot in Solar mythology

Side note: in my head, this is the moment the Red Bat was born. Only Chaos could start time moving and break stasis; by changing the rules, the moon Bat goddess enabled Orlanth to win.

What is the Hill of Gold, but a Footstool?  (Of course, that question makes you wonder what is really hidden under the hill...)

And there are two Hill of Gold incidents with Antirius as well, so yes, between Murharzarm, Yelm, Yelmalio, Antirius, the theme of the rightful ruler blinded or disarmed, ambushed and slain by the usurper, seems to be a good repeating theme.

The god time wasn’t in stasis before time, it just didn’t have a well defined sequence of events. Many contradictions could all be true.

I suggest this means the devil was crushed under the block, yet he also defeated Stormbull, or squirmed out and escaped his confinement.

Time IMO keeps the devil trapped, by imposing strict cause and effect, locking the world into a well defined narrative which led to the birth of time, where the devil was unambiguously defeated and trapped - at least from the perspective of people living inside time.
