*SIGH* Gregged again. Sometimes I feel I should paint a big (Blue) Bullseye on my forehead with the legend 'Greg Me Here!'. Considering that Alex feels hard done by by my last jibe (which wasn't intended to offend and I apologize for such), I probably let him have the first go.

Tales of the Reaching Moon #9 had a description of their Cult. Basically they feed people to the Hungry Ghosts (found in the Wastelands, Kralorela, Dorastor and Zamokil) to keep the spirits well fed so they won't take over the world. They also practice Cannibalism of their enemies to gain magical power in the form of increased stats.

To which he uncovered my terrible secret and also scribed:

But the Orlanthi *do* recognize Arkat as the son of Humakt (cf King of Sartar) and that's all the proof you'll ever need.
