Tim sez, of Harmast brining back Arkat:

Putting aside what might or might not be True with a capital T, this opens up all kinds of MGF.
If the Trickster was involved, maybe he tricked Harmast into bringing him back from Hell, where the gods -- no doubt -- left him tied up at the Dawn, probably stuck in the hole where they found Death.
Or maybe the trickster gave Gbaji to Hamrast. That might explain some of the confusions.
And finally, if the real Arkat got swapped out during Harmast's quest, maybe he did again when the trolls rebirthed him.
