Greg Stafford likes to tell the story of how he offered his gaming group (presumably full of Humakti characters) the chance to go on a Humakti heroquest whose goal was to meet Humakt. Nobody took him up on it.

Well, sort of. The runes of Dara Happa and of the Theyalan culture evolved separately, I believe, but there are some obvious similarities (circle=fire, square=earth, spiral=air). This is where the theory of "true" or underlying runes comes from.
Pam Carlson suggests Yelmic geases. I propose the word "stricture" so they sound different from Orlanthi geases (the sort I believe still exist in Ralios, but elsewhere are maintained only in cults like Humakt). I think they are different -- breaking an Orlanthi geas is really bad (it leads to your death), while violating a Yelmic stricture can be remedied with intensive purification.
Hmm, so you think there's a connection between the Eel-ariash clan (of Oronin) and BernEel Arashagern, who went to nearby Arir (I assume that's where Ariralves is; modern Doblian)? This would make BernEel Arashagern most likely the god of the Oronin River, i.e. Pelanda (and if it's really spelled that way, it would be a Pelandan word).

Why not? Jardanroste Ring-Jewel managed to become a member of the Tarsh Ring.
