Somewhat off. There is a constellation of three stars (according to Elder Secrets) of which one blinks. Arkat had prepared this as his retirement home before he retired which means that it is not integral to him in the same way as the Red Goddess is integral to the Red Moon. A star was damaged by the Outer Atomic Explorers causing it to blink. This ensures that nobody can visit that section of the heavens anymore IMO. One could argue that a star represents a phase of Arkat but then I would expect *five* stars and not three. Furthermore the original argument was about _planets_, not stars. I do think that when the star stops blinking between 1622 and 1625, Arkat will return.

So I should have said the River Valley later known as the Oslir (the invasion in the GRAY refers to a god and not the river IMO). I think Murharzarm and Brightface (the Yelm that walked the Oslir valley) are two seperate beings. YMMV.
