Actual killing? What do you mean by that? You have already said you don't think Humakti should be resurectable. I think this is going too far, too close to undeath.

We know that Humakt slughtered the healers of Healer Valley, which is re-enacted in the outlawed Lead Cross heroquest. Does that help?

Atone? Are you mad? That's the kind of thing Orlanth does, not Humakt. This is why Humakti sever their ties to their kin - so that their kin cannot be held accountable for their actions. This leads one to suspect that this is because their actions aren't the sort of thing innocent civilians are likely to want to be associated with.

A Humakti would say that all deaths are necessery. Death is absolute - eternal.

A Humakti would be glad to bring the release of death to one in suffering, but then to live is to suffer. I doubt CA has a euthanasia ethic though.

_Reliant_?

I see you know of the Lead Cross quest, yet still come up with this. It amazes me. I can't see a self-respecting healer having anything to do with humakti by choice. They stand against everything Chalana Arroy teaches.
