Donald Walli:

Donald asked Humakt 'What is the best things in Life'

Well anything goes. The only true way to know Humakt is to be killed. Worshiping Humakt is really an excercise in using the gods powers. After all Humakt in his final form has lost most of his brain (save for some functional bits above the brainstem) and personality after coming off second best in a scrap with Wakboth.

The important concept to remeber is that Humakt takes whatever form the dominant culture sees fit. Among the Orlanthi, honor is seen as a virtue. Thus the Orlanthi Humakti are concerend with honor and Justice. Humakt in fact doesn't really give a shit. He is Death, nothing else.

Pent views Humakt with windy connections (which might mean their swords get wind spells at the expense of reusable sever spirits). Nick has posted that Humakt is the Chief lightbringer. Given Carmanian Dualism, it seems that Humakt in his dark aspect is the fighter of chaos, sender of plagues and other miseries whereas his bright aspect is Lightbringer, Killer of the World Devourer, Slayer of the Well of Death. In the Kingdom of War, his worshippers are little more than Natural Born Killers.
