        An initiate can take an extra geas and gift if he is favored by the temple because of some great deed, a long term of loyal service, etc. And he can take a third, a fourth, etc. Probably a fourth or more of Humakti have two geases. A third geas is exceptional, and not every temple can boast a four-geas man.

        Swords & Tithing. Humakti, unlike most cults, pay their tithing out of whatever cash they have on hand during their Holy Day. A Sword pays 90% of his current cash not just on the Holy days, but on another day each season as well. Or on three days, etc.
