I'm not sure that we can say more than, "The god has a mythic reason for a presence in the sky".

Orlanth is King of the Universe. The Sun God (who certainly is part of the sky) is Orlanth's most loyal thane; it's not surprising that some star gods serve him also. He conquered the sky, after all, when he killed the Evil Emperor.
Yelmists might have some other explanation, but (a) they're lying bastards, and (b) see explanation "a" above.

I don't trust lunars, of course... I think they present the Red Moon as either an air goddess (between the sky and the earth) or a sky goddess depending on who they're talking to. And no, she certainly isn't a "star", but then, neither is the Sun, which is most certainly in the sky...
> Is there a Star Uz God (shudder)?
Well, those batty Blue Moon folks might have some ideas, but other than that, I doubt it.
