These may be theories, but the more stuff on Shargash I've seen come from Greg, the less like Orlanth he looks.
And I believe Greg has said that Humakt existed before Arkat. (I suppose it's possible that Humakt used to be considered an Orlanth subcult, though I doubt this was at all common, and if it were so, there still would have been stand-alone worship).

Bear in mind that this *has* been changed somewhat in the upcoming Storm Tribe. Please do not consider it official.
