I seem to remember a Babeester Gor myth that has Humakt (though not named) as her father, and carrying out a husband-protector role for a bit. I bet that's Esrolian in origin.
Where was it...? oh, yes.

Battle rather than Truth/Honour? Interesting.
Is there a write-up of this somewhere? Me not having read much Carmanian stuff, I'd have missed it.

Well, Severance/Separation is part of Death (or possibly vice versa), so yes, this makes sense.
I suppose any sub-cults then add the third affinity, which might in some cases put Honour/Truth back in again.
