The sun, moon and star symbols (which by the way are the seals we got in ShB for AST for activating Divination), well... I would say, in that triad, Azem is of course the sun, and Hades would be the moon (the sunless sea of heaven where the souls of the dead find eternal peace) and Hyth would be the star / the land (the bridge that connects the sun and the moon). Actually, if we delve further into stuff in which Emet had a hand... I am reminded of the Garlean banner: the three chain links, middle one being red. Which link represents who, that would be harder to tell, but there is indeed a recurring triad theme in what Emet builds / helps to build. Makes sense, though; if the Unsundered were susceptible to forgetting after 12000 years, I can see Emet littering everything wherever he went and lived to have his ultimate goal always fresh in his mind.

Also there is a strangely funny mental image of him in Allagan times finding out the Sephirotic cathedral with Azeyma-like symbols and being like, "did you just say 'traces of Azem'? BRING IT HERE!" and we know the rest of the story. (?)
