The way I see Sartar, he surely had the direct route to Larnste.
I suppose his ability to leave Heortland was achieved by transforming himself into something else. Why not an Issarian?
Complicating the issue is his relation to the Pharaoh. I suggest that he was one of the finalists of a Tournament of the Masters of Luck and Death.
And was he one of the classical Larnsti followers of Hendreik, one of the shire-reeve (Harst, Garzeen?)-trained Larnsti of Zombie-King Andrin, or something like the 25 Larnsti warriors who form Broyan's personal bodyguard?

It is notable that none of his descendants ever approached any change magic (other than road- and fortification-building and ring-making).

While that sounds true, I don't think that apotheosis falls under Change powers.
