One of my potential PC's was thinking of a character who was once an Initiate of Orlanth Thunderous, but joined the cult of Humakt to escape something he did in his past 'life'.
The story he came up with, with my help (he's a Glorantha newbie) is that a Lunar Priest inflicted his half-brother with Madness, and said half-brother began to attack his own men. The PC, not knowing what happened to his half-sibling, killed him in self-defense. When he realized what had happened, he severed his old name and life and joined the cult of Humakt, hopefully avoiding curse of Kinstrife.
Anyways, I was going over this in my head, and I'm sure if this actually makes sense. The PC wants to be an Initiate to Orlanth Thunderous and the Humakt. I'm not opposed to dual-initiation in my game, but considering that Humakt cut away his ties to the Storm Tribe to purify himself, I'm unsure whether the Cult of Humakt would accept someone who still follows the ways of the Storm.
If the Wise Savants on the list can give me any advice, I'd be helpful. I don't mind telling the player that Humakt won't tolerate his followers worshipping any other God but him, but I'd like to hear what people on the list think. Also, what's the Heortling position on Kinstrife when the individual killed was possessed or maddened?
