A quick question.  Does Splendid Yamsur appear on the God's Wall of Raibanth?  If not, how do we justify that?

Sounds like a question that could have yielded hundreds of tablets of Commentary developed during the Plentonic Debates by the sages and scribes. 

No, Plentonius never knew of Splendid Yamsur, and the Dara Happans never knew of Splendid Yamsur.  He is simply a Praxian name for Yelm.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur IS Yelm the Sun, thus he is #1 on the Gods Wall.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur appears on the Gods Wall.  He is one of the radiant beams of Light that streamed out of Yelm's Eye.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur appears on the Gods Wall.  He is #5, the brave General of the Solar Army who stands upon the Surface World and protects Yelm.  Plentonius later ascribed this to a star named Arraz who circles the Pole Star.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur appears on the Gods Wall.  He is #8, the Indarthrad, the Yellow Overseer of the East, Keeper of Insight.  He was the Master of the Amber Camp (GRoY p.8) which has now been transformed into the Wastes.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur appears on the Gods Wall.  He is I-1, the Keeper of the Surface World, Emperor.  He was murdered.

Yes, Splendid Yamsur appears on the Gods Wall.  He is I-4, one of the Sons of Yelm and Master of Serenity.  His name was subsequently lost to the Dara Happans when he was slain.  You can discern this from his position in GRoY and the Copper Tablets in the Last Stable Sky (p.5).

No, because the Gods Wall depicts the Gods of Dara Happa and not Geert's Garden.  Yamsur is not there for the same reason that Pamalt, Vith and Malkion are not.  It would be like wondering why Marduk is not depicted in Pharaonic art.
