[Giants]

I always thought that people could still see the original giants that make up the Good Giant Mountains with special types of magical vision. You might have a case with respect to the Bull-shaped hills near the Paps...

The four Just (as opposed to the original) sons of Malkion (ie Yingar, Froalar) plus Xemala would be a seperate constellation IMO as Malkion is not a member of a caste.
As for the other holders of the Celestial Law rune, the only two names I can come up with are Zrethus (mentioned in Elder Secrets as being another name for Dayzatar) would be the Pole Star and Setum (a Seshnegi Sky God in Jonat's Saga). If Zrethius is the Polestar that might account for the confusion that the Polestar is thought of as Dayzatar's Eye.

>And what about the blinking star? Is that Arkat, or one of his heroes?
The third star is the blinking star.
