Humakti can become ghosts. However, this is a very rare occurrence (most Humakti are HAPPY to stay dead), and the thought that something was happening that would make a Humakti stay as a ghost frightens the crap out of most Gloranthans who know of Humakt. (See Cults of Prax for a blurb on this.)
Trickster:
Had another Trickster thought (not involving Bob or anyone from Monty Python turning anyone into a newtling):
In Glorantha, myth and reality are intertwined. Myth affects the mundane and the mundane reflects reality. In a sentence:
Everything you believe of the gods is true.
After reading much (good!) discussion of Tricksters both trollish and otherwise, I must add:
Everything you believe of Trickster is wrong!
I think that sums him up quite nicely.
