A Sharp has licensed to Issaries the use of the new myths written for King of Dragon Pass, including the heroquestable myths for Chalana Arroy, Elmal, Ernalda, Issaries, Lhankor Mhy, Uralda, and yes, Humakt. However, I doubt we'll be seeing them on paper in the near future, so the computer game will be the best place to find them. (BTW, King of Dragon Pass will probably ship in October -- I hope to have something more definite to announce soon.)

A pretty liberal paraphrase, since it's Eurmal who kills Grandfather Mortal. But yes, Orlanth "has always respected Humakt for his honor." [KoS.67]
Patrik Sandberg reminded me of the glowline map in King of Sartar. Thanks! Sure looks like Aggar is entirely in the glowline -- and it's pretty clear that the Aggari worship Orlanth despite this.
