Being dead (killed by his brother) has something to do with it, I'm sure.

Greg has discussed this with me, and sees to Humakti stereotypes. One is the "paladin" you describe. The other is more of a Hell's Angel biker gang stereotype -- they just want to kill things.

He severed his kinship with Orlanth over a matter of honor. "Humakt found Orlanth's actions [taking Death and using it against Yelm] to be testable, and found it tragic that kinship could cover the shame of theft and deceit between the brothers. Humakt saw this as a weakness among the air gods and claimed that it forebode poorly for all if continued." [Wyrms Footprints p.70]

I interpret this myth to be: she *was* a street waif named Teelo Nori. She died during the ritual, so that the Goddess had a vessel to return in.
