Well my view to the things is that Humakt is - in the end - Death. But it isn't really the heortling Humakt, more like the Great God of Death if you wish to call it so. But I still call him Humakt.
And I think Glorantha gives us resons to.
I mean no disrespect to the myriad odious death-gods of old lozenge. I think they need to get along.

I imagine this to be THE BAT the blue moon trolls really worship!
I've imagined the Rinliddi Death Bat Goddes being called Artia,
and the assasin of Murhazarm, and a daughter of Verithurusa (?),
and she sounds petty in comparison...
(since IIRC she is far better renown simply as The Crimson Bat)
I recall that trolls at the Blue Moon Plateau breeded big blue bats that they even flew, and some dark entity was a god of these bats. The Blue Moon Plateau is called Tagor Mahaquata (Unspoken Word: Uz), but GRoY had left me under the impression, that Mahaquata is a mythic enemy entity of the Dara Happans. Can't imagine the digijelm using the same name nor similar understanding, nor nearly same myths.
Is it just my imagination?
