Yeah, I agree. I was actually thinking that there must be "dark stars" out there that Uz can see (and possibly, that hoomanz can't). Forgive me if I'm repeating stuff, I haven't had much time to read Glorantha digests too carefully of late. Certainly, if there are stars corresponding to human and other race heroes and gods, why not Uz?

This is a really cool idea. It reminds me of the sundive ship from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: you flip a black switch labelled in black writing on black, and a little black light goes on black to tell you what it did. Confusing to us, trivial to Uz.
