Exactly! (Uhh, ever tried to discuss with a bison khan?) There you go... :-D

In the case of Raven. Yea, I agree.

Thieving is a far more complex concept when we count trickster`s part in it, of course. Well, depending on my question maybe the answer was too clear.
But in general, how praxians view taking/thievery, I`ve seen them rather thinking they can take if they want to, and without seeing it as ANY sort of thievery. They think they`ve got the right(!) for it. For own clan`s benefit. And of course - unless the target(s) are clans/people that are treated as trustful allies and friends...same nation etc. Or that would be deceitness and thievery.
IMHO about the Iron Man, what comes to Waha`s and Storm Bull`s associations with death, I`d think worshiping the Death (him)self is a bit different thing, than worshiping a spririt/god who is associated with such power? Or was Iron Man/Humakt connections changed with HW/HQ?
Maybe the topic is turning a bit ridiculous. :-2
