Resant is the Storm God of the Rathori in the Time of Jonat (and maybe he=  is=0Acalled this also in 1621).

Jonat and the Seshnelans agreed that Resant is a Child of Seshnelas Humak=
t.=0ABut that appeared in Greg=B4s Jonat Saga, long ago. So Humakt means =
in this=0Acase; IMHO, the God that we now know as the Ralian Humath (mixi=
ng of Orlanth=0Aand Humakt). That makes Resant some kind of Rathori aspec=
t of that deity.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Andre=0A
