as he is the hierophant of the house of magi, you are partly right. however, no house is a dictatorship. IMG there is some kind of voting process, but outsiders don't know how it works. YGMV.

that's a little harsher than my view. I think that Humakt and Valind are still counted among the hundred good gods, though they are hopelessly unfashionable and old-fashioned. For instance, Humakt shrines might be included in Yanafal Tarnils' temples, and he/it may be counted as a sort of mystical precursor of the god of the Lunar Warriors. Valind is definitely worshipped in the mountains, and IMG he has an immortal daughter living there.

I think that Ikadz is worshipped by Carmanians of the 17th century ST. They do not think of him as Chaotic/False, but as Dark/Terrible. Executioners and torturers are necessary for their society. Execution is a public duty, as are the arts of excruciation. Ikadz is a terrible deity, but he is an integral part of the social system, and after death he shrives the weight of the mortal shell from Carmanians so they may walk across the bridge of swords. The Bridge is sharp, and those whose attachment to the mortal world is too heavy will be sliced to bits as they fall into the chasm of eternal gloom.
The interesting question is this, given that a good Carmanian must strive to embody both principles of light and darkness, what do torturers of Ikadz do with their time when they aren't slaying, flaying, and extracting confessions? Do they take orphans fishing, plant gardens, raise enormous families, perform intricate musical pieces, fashion beautiful jewelry?
What do you think?
