Humakht.
I can't agree. To quote Cults of Prax 'Humakt is death to all', and from the prosopaedia, 'the unyielding fate of all living creatures', not just those slain in combat. He brings final relief to the suffering, and guides the dead to their propper place.
If Humakt does not comprehend the pace of death in the world, why is he a god of Truth?
If Humakt is a specialist war god only, why is he keeper of the death rune?
I think you're confusing the Humakt weapon subcult of Orlanth with the independent cult of Humakt the Kinless.
