But didn't Arkat become a Hrestoli knight, and then throw it away

to follow barbarian gods (and eventually become a Krjalki)? Perhaps he
didn't betray them militarily, but I bet they feel betrayed anyway.
They did instantly befriend him, and let him become a Knight in
record time. They probably still weren't pleased with what Arkat became.
And as for the Pelorians - he didn't betray them because he was
never really on their side. Escapes on a technicality.

I agree with Peter. Sartar was attempting to become a hero of
Issaries, or even an avatar. Road building, for example, is not really a
Change thing, but certainly is an Issaries thing, and very much a Sartar
thing. His Change powers, IMO, were related but secondary.
