Nothing exists officially although there has been plenty of speculation. The upcoming Book of Belintar may present more definitive information. A set of rituals that has been proposed is that the Pharoah re-enacts the deeds that brought him mastery over each of the sixths - thus he breaks the bank of Casino Town, rises from the dead after being slain in the year son rituals, impales the Only Old One on an iron sword etc.

No published cult writeup exists although I have seen a partially complete ToTRM version printed in Red and Black - - no prizes for guessing whose printer it came from. In its basic cult form, Yanafal does resemble a lunarized version of Humakt but there are important differences.
Lastly, if your player blanches at the thought of joining the Red Army (with a 25 year tour of duty) even as an officer then an alternative exists. He can join the cult of the Seven Mothers and worship Yanafal from within there. This will probably mark him as a hick provincial for life in Imperial Eyes but he is more likely to be involved in special duties involving the Provincial Church.

What are you talking about?!? Surely Razalkark is good, isn't he?
