Why not? Many Malkioni when they convert between sects do exactly this. Don't think a Humakti joining Yanafal Tarnils as joining a seperate but similar cult. Think of him as accepting the Light of the Red Moon in his life.

Humakt is *not* the God of Honor. He is the God of Death, first and foremost. Secondly Yanafal did not 'betray' Humakt, he defeated him thus proving his moral superiority. After all everybody knows Benedict Arnold is a traitor, but who remembers George Washington as one?
