I don't know if you have seen the stars of saradomin south outside the chapel in kharid et... they're super hidden, on the side of the wall facing away from you, and hard to see unless you tilt your camera in a very specific way below the wall.

Firstly, these are stars of Saradomin, right? Secondly, are there more of these elsewhere in the fort? I saw at least 6. Thirdly, how did Saradominists get these in here without the centurion's seal? Was this a saradominist site before it was Zarosian, or were they graffiti'ed during the site's occupation by the icyene prisoner or someone else?

And lastly, what does this mean for the future of the archaeology skill and Kharid-et? This has to have been planned for a reason. Does jagex have a trick up their sleeve regarding this fort?

No. Kharid-et was Tumeken, the Sun God's domain. It doesn't seem to have any lore about Saradominists and Iceyene prisoners. The only prisoner related to it was Prince Ali, who the Player helped to escape and it brought out a series of quests revolving around the Diamond, which later revealed to be the Kharid-ib or The Heart of the Sun which is actually the essence of Tumeken.

They may not be special "stars", let alone Saradomin "stars". I see the sun everywhere on Gielinor but they may not mean a thing regarding Tumeken the Sun God. The sun and stars etc can just be natural parts of the scenery.

They have four points and are shaped exactly like a star of saradomin though... everyone in the lore fc was at a loss to why they were there. Did Zaros just like decorating his fort with ambivalent symbols that weren't intended to be interpreted this way then? lmao Click here for ideas on exploring other worlds, specifically the human homeworld Teragard.

Kharid-et was originally the domain of the Desert Gods as I mentioned. Desert Gods have no problems with other religions. The Citharede Abbey near Kharid-et clearly illustrated the fact.

I don't know if what you think are stars really have anything to do with Saradomin, but even so, it doesn't have to have any bearing with past or future lore of the Desert as its gods are not the false idols that Guthix condemned. Even if the followers of all the other gods engraved symbols of their gods in the desert region, there still won't be a problem and doesn't mean a thing, as long as they don't fight.

So two things I just found out—first, there is in fact an Icyene prisoner named Aurora who was housed in Kharid et. She was Saradominist and active within the empire, hence her imprisonment.

But more likely for the stars, the Cult of Orcus pages suggest that there was evidently a group of saradominists invading the fort at its demise, and the pater in charge made it so that the pylons would trap them inside with an army of undead and be annihilated. These stars could be their last ditch effort to vandalize the fort before their deaths. Doesn't explain why we don't see saradominist artefacts there. Could use some of those.

@I IS SPAEROR

I think this Prisoner Mystery is mainly aimed at introducing Xil'gar Trog to the storyline with a mysterous strange device. The other inmates are likely just some random information. Note that there are "prisoners" of other races and religions too. For instance, the was a vympyre that should be most likely Zamorkian.

Zarosians could have captured other creatures from nearby area like Lumbridge for different purposes. They did similar things near Senntislen too, noticeably the Broken Home demon. It didn't imply there were any involvements of other gods like Saradomin or Zamorak so it shouldn't be surprising we don't see any Saradomin or Zamorak items in the desert.
