Orlanthi is the principal war god of the Orlanthi. Horse-riders either follow Elmal or Orlanth. That's not to say that a Humakti can't ride a horse into combat, he just doesn't have much in the way of divine assistance.

Humakt is the principal killing machine of the Orlanthi but he's too focussed on killing people to be more helpful in warfare as practiced by the Orlanthi. He won't even engage in ambushes for example.
