The double negatives here are mightly confusing, lawyer-man. Want to rephrase this in clearer terms?
FWIW, I'm also in the "Esrolians are Orlanthi, but variant" camp. The history in Enclosure 1 shows that they were once the same people, even if they diverged during the Darkness. And then diverged more under the Only Old One.
May I offer a compromise to the Humakti healing discussion? Just add a new geas, "May receive magical healing only from Chalana Arroy initiates."
Also, in some versions of the Lightbringer's Quest, Humakt is said to be along (and I believe Greg or Sandy have said so, if not in print). Keep in mind that it's a long quest, and there are plenty of Lightbringers who don't go the whole distance (such as the Vingkotlings, who defeat the Luathelans).
