Yes, that's the one. This could be a good way to screw someone up - drag them into a HQ where they get to be Orlanth, but where the guy has conflicting motivations, and doesn't really want to do the Orlanth thing for whatever reason. For example, a warrior chief who rules mainly because he is the best warrior, would have to choose between having to delegate some of his Death powers to his Humakti, thus weakining his position, or losing Orlanth's mandate to rule wisely.
