?? I don't think even the Orlanthi see Humakt as good. Inevitable, yes. Good to worship for a grim, determined warrior, yes. Good, no. When a squadron of Humakti march pass, other Orlanthi quickly walk over to the other side of the road. After all, it's final, kinless Death which comes walking. You want to be out of its way.
